Hanwell Hammering

You will "hammer" your way on the trails of Hanwell Recreation Park until you finish your quest and are victorious! Or is it the other way? Will those trails give you a hammering until you are squashed? We will find out what you are made of.

- On Friday night a 5km will be offered for anyone who would like to try out these trails, whether you are participating on Saturday or are new to trail running. This course will be slightly different and easier than the one for the Saturday events. 

- A new single-track trail has been created to increase the fun and make the total course a bit more challenging.

THE MAIN EVENT ON SATURDAY

The race will have 3 distances, each with a number of loops. The loop consists of rubberized material, brand-new single-track trails and double track trails. Total length of a loop is about 5 kilometer and has about 60 meter of elevation gain.

Rubber Hammer: 2 loops ~ 10 km

Wooden Hammer: 5 loops ~ 25 km

Iron Hammer: 10 loops ~ 50 km

There is a cut-off on the Iron Hammer; you will have to have finished 5 loops (25 km) by 1:30pm (this is 5 hours of running). If you don't make it, you can continue your run if you want to, but in the results you will get a DNF.
