Spectacular trails will take you through one of the marvels of nature: the towering sand cliffs of the Cooloola Coast. Formed over thousands of years, the coloured sands rise over the expansive blue Coral Sea. Runners will experience lush forests, perched lakes, rising sand dunes and the historic lighthouse, while running single track, fire roads and beaches.
