A new event on the roster for 2021, the Cobbler Creek event offers 3 courses 25k 16k and 10k.
Upon the creation of the Golden Grove Development, the Park was set aside to be kept for open space recreation and to provide a flood barrier to Salisbury. The Park has extensive shared use biking / running trails and a great family play area for the kids.
With only moderate elevation and plenty of fast runnable single track it suits both novice and experienced runners alike. But dont be fooled by the fast banked bike tracks, having been designed by longtime local trail runner Lachlan Miller you can rest assured that there are some sneaky technical sections in there somewhere.
The courses take in just about the whole park, with a couple of creek crossings to join the tracks. Keep your eye out for the seldom seen local kangaroos as you climb up Porosa Hill to the old Teakle ruins at the top and then take in the views to the coast while descending the single tracks back down to Steve’s Disco Tunnel.
Cobbler Creek Yabbies Run
This year we have introduced a kids run at each event The “Yabbies” run for the little ones will take in some of the Babbler Loop and return back under the finish arch for 2km. There is no need to register for this, just turn up on the day and pick up a custom Yabbies’ bib from the registration tent. The course will be well marked with marshals at each turn. It is up to adults whether they accompany kids on course

Beware of slippery patches on the tracks. Bare, packed, earth covered by green moss may be very slippery.
Course Marking
The signs to look out for:
- Red arrows at turnoffs. All turnoffs will be marked with arrows, and ribbons are never used for this purpose.
- Red-and-white ribbons to confirm that you’re on the right track.
- Wrong way signs where needed.
- Course divergence signs where needed.
The red-and-white striped ribbons will be placed at frequent intervals (200-400m) to confirm that you are on the right track. Wherever you need to turn off, there will be an arrow sign. If you stop seeing any signs, turn back. Do not carry on and get yourself even more lost. All runners are expected to carry a mobile phone.
First Aid
There will be first-aiders in attendance. If in need of serious first aid whilst on the course please ring the first-aid number on 0491 017 636 (this number is also printed on your bib). In an emergency, ring 000. For cuts and other minor treatment please see the first-aiders in the start / finishing area.
Drink station and refreshments
Bring your own bottle belts or hydration packs because there will be no cups of water at the drink stations or at the finish line. There will be aid stations on course, which will have water and lollies and in keeping with TRSA’s COVID-safe plan, volunteers will re-fill all water bottles and hand out lollies using tongs. The same applies at the finish line with fruit and brownies also on offer. Please use the hand sanitizer provided and wait for volunteers to hand you what you’re after.
John from The Coffee Run will be there to with his usual coffee van, offering a 50c discount if you bring your own cup.
