Where Jabulani Challenge 22km Trail Run starts and finishes
Jabulani Challenge 22km Trail Run starts at Bobbin Head, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.
Full Jabulani Challenge 22km Trail Run Route Breakdown
The Jabulani Challenge starts at the scenic Bobbin Head picnic area, winding through the lush bushland of Ku‑ring‑gai Chase National Park. Runners tackle a mix of fire‑trail tracks, creek crossings and gentle climbs, with the 12km route offering a single loop, the 22km adding a second loop, and the 45km extending into more remote ridgelines.

Training Strategy for Jabulani Challenge 22km Trail Run
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 13.67-mile race. Combine a weekly long run with threshold work so you can hold pace over the full distance.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Bobbin Head, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
13.67-Mile Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.
Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.
Fluid at the on-course stations is usually enough; some runners take a single gel around the hour mark.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
