Rumble in the Jungle – Australia

Description: Rumble in the Jungle features the highlights of the Coffs Harbour hinterland with waterfalls, lookouts and dense rainforest to explore. The run takes place in the stunning Bindarri National Park – Coffs Harbour’s premier running destination – with the four courses carefully crafted to showcase the best trails of the region. You will be running through a unique and special area. Bindarri National Park is listed as an ‘Asset of Intergenerational Significance’, known for its priority koala habitat and forms a conservation corridor between New England Tableland and the Great Escarpment, linking vegetation corridors from the plateau to the coast. Rumble in the Jungle is named as 50km runners cross the crystal clear ‘Urumbilum’ River and visit ‘Urumbilum’ Falls and Bindarri National Park is a dense rainforest jungle.
