Important information
- All runs start at Cleveland Dam parking lot at 5:30pm sharp! Please arrive at 5:15pm to allow time for the group to organize.
- Routes are subject to change based on trail conditions.
- Runs take place rain or shine.
- If possible, please email Clive Boness if you plan on coming so that we’ll know to keep an eye out for you before heading off for the evening’s run.
- You needn’t be a Knee Knackering registrant to come along on these runs. Anyone who wants to experience North Shore trail running is welcome!
- These runs are not the responsibility of the Northshore Ultra Trailrunning Society (NUTS) or this year’s Knee Knacker organizing committee. While we encourage runners to become as familiar as possible with the trail prior to race day, our insurance coverage only applies to the official Sunday morning runs in May, June and July.
These runs are a great opportunity to experience parts of the KKNSTR race route and other local trails. All skill levels are welcome.
