The Course

Running the Pomona Sundowner 30

A point-to-point course through beautiful, shady forest on the Noosa Biosphere Trail network. With a mid-afternoon start, you can enjoy a relaxed morning before racing into a Hinterland sunset.

The course is largely runnable and undulating rather than steep, rewarding steady effort, good pacing and consistent fuelling across a 3 to 5 hour effort.

The Course Demands

What the race asks of you

Over 12 weeks we build efficiency on runnable trail, sensible pacing for a point-to-point course, and the fuelling and gear rehearsal that make race day feel calm rather than chaotic.

Runnable Trail Efficiency

A largely runnable course rewards efficient trail form and comfort holding pace across shaded, undulating terrain.

Late Afternoon Effort

A mid-afternoon start means racing into the evening. We build fuelling and pacing strategy specific to a later race day rhythm.

Cycle-Aware Training

Training intensity adapts through your cycle, protecting consistency and recovery across the 12-week build.

Race-Day Confidence

In the final weeks, focus shifts to refining pacing, testing gear and fuel, and building calm readiness for race day.
