We also have our preferred Headphones, Shokz Open Ear Headphones, avaible to test thanks to Katie Dall from Club KT. We love Shokz Headphones because you feel the music 🤩 like you are in front of a speaker, they elevate your trail running experience, yet you can still hear runners, bikes and cars around you. Shokz Open Ear Headphones are a much safer choice for music on the BTU Course.
It’s time to get excited, and COMMIT to Finishing the BTU and be part of a special harden group of ultra runners and receive a 2024 Finishers T-Shirt 🤩🤩🤩 Designed by RD Shona Stephenson, incorporating the key climbs on the course plus connecting the profile with the iconic Brisbane River, and pays respect to the indigenous Country that the course travels through, from Turrbal to Jinibarra to Turrbal again.
So sign up, get your training ✅ and be rewarded at the finish line with one of these limited edition Finishers T-shirts.
See you on the trails!
