Go back to the enewsletterThis August, Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley is launching the first ‘Wolgan Warrior Adventure Challenge’, an exclusive 21-kilometre trail run. Available to only 10 guests every month, the course was mapped out by an expert team of Field Guides who scoured the reserve to design an experience where guests can experience Wolgan Valley like never before. Trail runners can explore the wild, inspiring and rarely accessed parts of the resort’s extraordinary wilderness setting, and at the same time, build fitness and endurance.The course has been developed with a profound respect for the environment and desire to protect the surrounding World Heritage-listed national parks, hence each monthly challenge is available exclusively to only 10 participants. Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley has been granted trail running Ecopass permissions by National Parks & Wildlife Services.Officially launching on 26 August 2019, the guided Wolgan Warrior course will link three of the valley’s iconic peaks for off-track hiking and trail running: Razorback Ridge (277m elevation from the valley floor), Mount Wolgan (294m elevation from the valley floor), and Donkey Mountain (365m elevation from the valley floor). Wolgan Warriors will navigate sheer sandstone escarpments, soaring mountain peaks, pristine creeks, dense bushland and sweeping plains, led by a dedicated Field Guide who is steeped in knowledge of the local terrain.Wolgan Warrior weekends will be tailored to include special menus, stretching sessions and therapeutic massages to round out the unparalleled adventure experience.The Wolgan Warrior Adventure Challenge will kick off at 9am on Saturday morning, allowing five hours for participants to tackle the 21-kilometre track. In the afternoon, guests will have the option to enjoy therapeutic spa treatments, take advantage of the plunge pool, sauna and steam facilities, followed by a campfire at 1832 Heritage Homestead to celebrate their achievements with drinks, canapés and an awards ceremony. On Sunday morning, guests cap off their eco-weekend with a conservation tree planting within the Wolgan Warrior Zone to commemorate the run.The Wolgan Warrior Adventure Challenge has been developed in direct response to feedback from guests eager to test their endurance, stamina and navigation skills in the surrounding wilderness without having to sacrifice a sense of pleasure and indulgence.Entry into the Wolgan Warrior Adventure Challenge is AUD $295 per participant and is open only to guests staying at the resort.
