We get asked this a lot.
Some might say the Bluff course is technical, others might disagree. There really isn’t such a thing as an ‘easy’ ultra marathon, if you are striving to complete the course to the best of your ability, you should expect it to be hard!
There are sections on Bluff the course where the going will require concentration because of having to negotiate exposed rocks and roots, there are other parts where you will be able to more comfortably cruise along without having to step over obstacles. The climb up to Bluff Head is steep, there is a false summit that can trick you into thinking you’re at the top, when you’re not! There is very little truly flat trail, the elevation changes constantly. We don’t prescribe to making claims that this event is the hardest, highest, most technical or for that matter the easiest. On the day if you give it your all, the course will test you both mentally and physically, At the end, you should feel proud of your achievement to complete it.
