One of the most gruelling marathon races in Australia was held today - The Six Foot Track.
The event consists of a 45km footpath stretching across the Blue Mountains from The Explorer’s Marked Tree, near Katoomba, to Jenolan Caves. The marathon started in 1984 and is Australia’s fifth largest marathon.
The race is a fundraiser for the Rural Fire Service & Six Foot Track Heritage Trust and attracts more than 850 entrants each year.
