3 Marathons in 3 Days

The 3M3D is a great event held in the tropical rainforest of Far North Queensland in July each year. And with many competitors returning to compete in the event, it is a fantastic long July weekend away from the cold winter further south. Competitors get a rare opportunity to make new friends during the three days whilst out on the trails. To register go to http://3marathonsin3days.com/enter-now/
