ABOUT US
We are runners and local residents from Coombabah, and we spend a lot of time running/biking in the Coombabah Lake Conservation Area (CLCA).
Coombabah wetlands is part of the internationally significant Southern Moreton Bay Marine Park and is registered in the Ramsar Convention on wetlands of international importance.
To keep the experience as pristine as possible, we endeavour to limit the entries, and keep the numbers as small and personal as possible.
We love animals, and in future events we would like to partner up and support local animal welfare organisations.
