- **Event Name**: Killcare Loops Trail Run
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 pm (+11:00)
- **Event Description**: Run starts at 6:30 am please arrive quietly and 15mins early.

The ever popular Killcare Loops Trail run is our next installment in the Central Coast Trail Series. The run starts and ends in Hardys Bay where there are a number of cafes and general store for after run refreshments.

This run takes in the best of the beautiful Bouddi National Park. You will visit secluded beaches, world class coastal views to Sydney and beyond, lush rainforests and coastal heathlands. Whales are on the move so you have a good chance of spotting some of these also.

COURSE CHANGE: because of roadworks Hawke Head Road is closed and we have been advised not to run along that road but return along Flannel Flower trail back to the start in Hardy’s Bay and continue from there as normal, The maps have been updated.

As per last year the routes are slightly different from the original course: no descending from Box Head to the precarious goat track to Tallows, no running through Little Beach campground, no visiting of the western parts of Bouddi (Daleys Point or Macs ridge Fire Trail) less road running overall.

The loops are a mixture of fire trail, some road, single track and beaches.
Self-drive/carpool to Hardy’s Bay Wharf (at bottom of Killcare Rd hill).

Public Toilets are available at the start and there are multiple locations along the course to fill your bottles, water taps and toilets are indicated on the google maps for 24km and 32km loops.
