Trails and Tails Port Macquarie

Cairncross State Forest provides the setting: a flat trail run through "scenic forest trails" and the "tranquillity of native bushland" near Telegraph Point. Trails and Tails Port Macquarie offers a relaxed bush run atmosphere, not a strenuous mountain challenge, with little elevation and varied routes suitable for beginners, consistent pacers, and those with younger runners. The course begins at the Charlie Watt Reserve race hub, leading through clearly marked forest paths. This allows participants to find a rhythm among the trees without facing steep ascents. A notable feature is the dog-friendly nature of the event, where both human and canine participants share the trails, whether running with a "furry companion or solo." Anticipate a practical, nature-focused morning in mild autumn weather, designed for appreciating the natural surroundings rather than enduring a difficult race.
