Narrowneck Night Run
Event location
Description
The Narrowneck Night Run, held on Saturday, 15 November 2025, is a challenging night trail running event in Katoomba, NSW, Australia, offering two distances: 14 km and 24.7 km. The race starts at Narrowneck Lookout and follows an out-and-back course along rugged fire trails through the Blue Mountains.
Narrowneck is a scenic, cliff-bound peninsula separating the Jamison Valley from the Megalong Valley. Runners embark from the lookout, traversing the sole fire trail all the way to its end at Clear Hill before returning to the start. The course features a series of steep climbs and descents, providing a demanding and exhilarating trail running experience.
The longer course is extended from the usual 20 km to approximately 24.7 km in 2025, while the shorter 14 km option remains consistent with previous years but turns around before reaching the fire tower. Participants begin the race at sunset, enjoying spectacular valley views before navigating the trail under stars, combining the beauty of dusk with the thrill of nighttime running.
