Six Foot Track Marathon

13 Mar 2010

The Six Foot Track is a 45km footpath stretching across the Blue Mountains from The Explorer's Marked Tree, near Katoomba to Jenolan Caves. The marathon started in 1984 and follows the length of the entire footpath. It is Australia's 5th largest marathon and by far the largest 100% off-road running event. The race is a fundraiser for the Rural Fire Service & Six Foot Track Heritage Trust. It currently attracts over 850 entrants each year.

Rural Fire Service Blue Mountains District Group Planning Committee

The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) comprises over 2,100 volunteer rural fire brigades with a total membership of just over 70,000. In addition, salaried staff are employed to manage the day to day operations of the Service at Headquarters, regional offices and district fire control centres.

The Blue Mountains District is made up of 21 brigades and the NSW Rural Fire Service Blue Mountains District Group Support Committee was formed to assist with additional support to those brigades. All funds raised are used to assist the Blue Mountains brigades in maintaining the high standard of training, resourcing and community education required to continue protecting the community during times of bushfire and other emergency situations.
