AAARC Not Butter

The Not Butter weekend on 24 October 2026 includes a 24, 12 and 6-hour trail run, plus "The Drop", all based at Oxley Creek Common. The 24/12/6 hour are run on an 5km out and back route. The course is on a smooth, compact surface with minimal elevation, mostly along Oxley Creek. The rules are simple - You start when you start, finish when you finish - what you manage in-between is what you get. The "Drop" event on Sunday, includes a 5km, 4km and 3km option with more complex rules. For lap 1, participants (regardless of distance), set out with 30 minutes to complete it, followed by a 5 minute recovery. Lap 2 has 29 minutes to complete, with a 6 minute recovery and so on...
