THE countdown is on for the fourth annual Rumble in the Jungle Trail Run, set to take place in just one month at Ulong, with over 500 runners already signed up to tackle the rainforest trails of Bindarri National Park.
Hosted by Coffs Trail Runners, the event has seen a surge in popularity, almost doubling its capacity from previous years and attracting participants from across NSW, Queensland and beyond.
Trail distances range from a 1km kids run to a challenging 50km ultramarathon, offering something for every level of runner and hiker.
The event is known for its breathtaking scenery, community spirit and inclusive atmosphere.
President of Coffs Trail Runners, Keelan Birch, said the event’s growth reflects the passion of the trail running community.
“We’ve already surpassed 500 entries, which is incredible,” he said.
“It’s a testament to how much people love this event and the unique experience of running through the rainforest and past waterfalls.”
This year, the event welcomes BCU Bank as its new naming sponsor, a partnership that organisers say will help elevate the event’s profile and support its continued growth.
“We’re thrilled to have BCU Bank on board,” Birch added.
“Their support means we can continue to improve the experience for runners and spectators alike.”
With the event now more than 90 percent sold out, organisers are encouraging anyone keen to participate to register soon.
Spectators, families, and volunteers are also welcome to join the festivities in Ulong, with food stalls, kids’ activities and a vibrant community atmosphere promised on the day.
