Where Rumble in the Jungle 8km starts and finishes
Rumble in the Jungle 8km starts at Eastern Dorrigo Community Hall, 13 Pine Avenue, Ulong, NSW, 2450. 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 Rumble in the Jungle 8km Route Breakdown
Rumble in the Jungle starts and finishes at the Eastern Dorrigo Community Hall in Ulong, sending runners into the rainforest of Bindarri National Park on a mix of forest roads, management trails and rainforest singletrack. The longer distances pass real course landmarks including Bangalore Falls, Urumbilum Falls, the Mt Wondurrigah lookout and Battery Falls, with the 100km's remote back section featuring a steep descent to "The Confluence", where the Bobo River meets the Little Nymboida River. Elevation climbs from around 165m of gain on the 8km up to roughly 3,000m on the full 100km, so distances get progressively more technical and demanding. Expect creek crossings, fern-lined gullies and genuine wilderness underfoot, all supported from the community hall as a friendly, well-organised base.

Training Strategy for Rumble in the Jungle 8km
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 4.97-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 Eastern Dorrigo Community Hall, 13 Pine Avenue, Ulong, NSW, 2450 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.
4.97-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.
No on-course fuel is needed at this distance for most runners — water stations are the usual provision.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
