The seventh annual 42km Marathon Walk will take us from Hornsby to Meadowbank, via Dog Pound Creek to Westleigh, Berowra Creek to West Pennant Hilla and then the Cumberland State Forest. On via the Murri-yanna Track and Darling Mills Creek to Lake Parramatta, where we do a quick circuit, followed by Parramatta Park and a circuit of that. Then along the banks of the Parramatta River to Meadowbank. It's on a mixture of bush tracks, roads, and paved walkways, and it's all downhill! OK, I'm a walk leader and I would say that. Not quite all downhill, but it is the gentlest marathon we'll have done to date. Early start and maybe late finish by torchlight. MEMBERS ONLY.
