We will upload photos from the devil's Gap CP here with more to be available soon via a shared drive link… Read more.

The next (and, hopefully, final) team that has fallen victim to thinking “oh, I’ll just take a shortcut this way” is Wamburun Division 6, who are making their way south at the moment. This bush bash will save them less than 1 kilometre, and take more than 1.6 kilometres to complete. That is not a good ratio. In fact, that is a very bad ratio… Read more.

Division X’s KUWC got the memo about needing to pick up the pace. They absolutely stormed through the Orroral Valley, overtaking Griffin Division 5 who seem to have spent 40 minutes climbing up one of the gullies to the north east… Read more.

Making their way towards Endpoint from the northern direction, we’ve got Burgmann 1, Johns 1, Wamburun 1, Johns 7, Lodge 7, and Ursies 7 all spread across a couple of hundred metres… Read more.

It’s Burgmann 6 vs Burgmann 7 in a footrace to Endpoint from the northern direction. Hopefully these teams are working together to push each other on home!… Read more.

Ursies 3 has just begun heading north. They are less than 1 kilometre away from the Link Track that every other team has successfully followed to Endpoint. It seems they’re planning to climb directly over the spur up a 450m slope rather than take the path around it. This is a 2 kilometre bush-bash. If they pull it off, it will save them 2 kilometres… Read more.

Can Fenner 6 hold off B&G 6 and reverse the fate of their Division 7 team? They’re just over a kilometre away now!… Read more.

We just saw an incredibly tight finish between B&G and Fenner’s Division 7 teams. Now, the battle is playing out again in Division 6. They’re almost at Endpoint… who will make it out in front?… Read more.

It’s almost 2:00pm. That means that race cut-off time is just over three hours away… Read more.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - I am so impressed with this team’s grit. They’ve still got a difficult task ahead of them - the faster teams have taken 5 hours to get from Yukeembruk’s current location through to Endpoint. They have 4.5… Read more.

It's Bruce's race to lose in Division 4 at the moment. Wamburun still have a LOT of climbing out of Orroral Valley to do and look to be in a race for second against Fenner approaching EP from the north… Read more.

B&G Divisions 3 and 4 have been in close proximity for the last half hour. Will they run to Endpoint together, or will B&G 3 continue to outpace them in the back half of the course?… Read more.

Bruce 6 has made the same mistake as B&G 6 and has overshot a turn-off along the Endpoint approach. It looks like B&G were able to recover fairly quickly. Let’s hope Bruce can too… Read more.

Burgamann 5 looks to have taken a risk and gone for the bush bash near Orroral Valley tracking station, and it might well pay off!… Read more.

Never got such a thrill watching dots on a screen. Get the stopwatches out EP vollies, this could be a sprint finish!… Read more.

Div 4 is also shaping up to be very tight. Wamburun has 13km and 500m elevation to go, but on much nicer and faster moving trails than Bruce, who have 12km and 400m elevation to go… Read more.

B&G 6 seem to have missed a turn-off and are heading directly for the excluded section of Apollo Road. They’re so close to the end here…it can be difficult to maintain focus for such a long period of time… Read more.

Meanwhile, Bruce 3 appear to be trying to navigate in a straight line to EP. They haven't changed trajectory since they left the track 2.5hrs ago and seem insistent on continuing this way… Read more.

And just like that, Wright 3 has reclaimed the lead with only 7ish km to go, and they don't look like relinquishing it… Read more.

Division X Team 3 have taken a cool route out of the Corin Road crossing. Rather than crossing the Orroral River and following the trail that every other team has followed, they traversed around the edge of the open grassy area and continued directly on to the Link Track to Endpoint. This is a nice route choice… Read more.

With some really tight racing in the middle of the pack for Div 5, navigators have one last big decision to make...to bush bash or not to bush bash?… Read more.

They’re going to have to either turn around once they hit Corin Road, or do a nasty bush-bash to avoid entering the exclusion zone… Read more.

Burgmann 1 have been doing circles in the same approximate area for 40 minutes now. In the past ten minutes, they have commenced a bush-bash in the south-east direction. There is absolutely nothing out that way… Read more.

Burgmann 1 have been doing circles in the same approximate area for 40 minutes now. In the past ten minutes, they have commenced a bush-bash in the south-east direction. There is absolutely nothing out that way… Read more.

Yukeembruk Division 5 and the ADFA Divison X team are still heading north - that makes it an hour of travel in the wrong direction. The only way that these teams can make it to Endpoint without crossing an exclusion zone is to use the allowed road crossing that every other Division 5 team is currently passing through… Read more.

Div 7 is also heating up. After hitting Devil's Gap in 3rd, Fenner 7 have managed to flawlessly navigate a part of the course that a lot of teams have struggled on and hit Booromba Rd in the lead… Read more.

Bruce 3 still seem to be making a direct line for Endpoint… it’s been an hour since they left the Smokers Trail intersection. They have travelled about 1 km in this time. If we generously assume that the vegetation doesn’t get worse, they remain directly on bearing, the 550m of elevation gain they’d have to climb doesn’t affect their pace, and they don’t fatigue, they could possibly make it the 7.2 remaining kilometres to Endpoint by about 7pm (well after the 5pm cut-off). Surely they aren’t really trying this… Read more.

There are three teams in contention for first to arrive at Endpoint… Read more.

Yukeembruk 4 had a really tough start to the race. After having to backtrack a few times, in the first 4.5 hours they had only moved a net 5 kilometres down the road from Dropsite… Read more.

Yukeembruk 5 has diverted to the north - this is very much not the way to go. They seem to have confused the ADFA team they ran into, who are now heading north as well… Read more.

Bruce 3 appears to have overshot the turn onto Smokers Trail. They’ve been heading directly through the bush in the south-east direction for 20 minutes now. There is nothing in that direction. Unless they’re attempting a very lengthy bushbash to Endpoint?… Read more.

It seems Griffin 7 don’t know quite which way to go here. They’ve been travelling back and forth in this same area for about 40 minutes and now seem to be heading south-east into open bush (there are no valid routes in this direction). Have they misplaced themselves on the map? Are they going to attempt to bush-bash directly to Endpoint?… Read more.

And this one looks like it’s really paid off… Read more.

Bruce 6, who were mere metres away from the Corin Road exclusion zone, have made a successful recovery. They have lost a lot of ground, but that’s a far better outcome than disqualification… Read more.

Wright Division 3, who initially missed the turnoff onto Smokers Trail, have successfully landed back along it. They have well and truly been overtaken by Yukeembruk 3, who are now leading the Division convincingly. This is huge for a college in just their second year of IB!… Read more.

Did you think there would only be a bush-bash in Division 5 this year? Well, surprise! The ADFA Div X team have turned off Gudgenby Creek Fire Trail and seem to be attempting a bush-bash across to Half Moon Creek Fire Trail! Will this pay off?… Read more.

It has just claimed Johns 6, Yukeembruk 7, and potentially Fenner 1. Unlucky!… Read more.

Bruce Division 6 are playing a very dangerous game here. After falling into the Devils Gap Trap, they’ve been following a (valid) track that is very, very close to the excluded section of Corin Road. They have now reached the end of that track. Will they make the right decision and change course? Or will they enter the exclusion zone?… Read more.

Division 3 and some Division 1 and 4 teams are reaching one of the last substantial decision points. Teams have two options: head south along Smokers Trail, or continue east (avoiding private property) through to Blue Gum Creek Fire Trail… Read more.

Please turn, please turn, please turn… Read more.

Despite getting a bit lost on the way to the Corin Road crossing, Bruce and B&G Division 1 teams seem to have recovered, while Griffin moved slowly through the pine… Read more.

It looks like Wright 3 are a bit unsure at the moment - they’ve doubled back on themselves a couple of times. At the moment, they have a decent lead so they may be able to remain in front, but these mistakes have definitely cost them. Hopefully they’ll figure out which way they want to head sooon… Read more.

If you’re following along at home and trying to spot Burgmann Division 7, you might notice they’re not currently on the map. We promise this is purely a technical error that will be fixed shortly - the team are doing well. Their location is still visible from our end and they are currently about 100 metres behind Johns division 7. I’ve attached a picture to this post… Read more.

Just like their Division 1 counterparts, they’ve missed a turn-off here. Hopefully they catch themselves at the upcoming intersection!… Read more.

Bruce and B&G look to have recovered and are back on track to Endpoint. If you’re watching the trackers closely, it may look as though both teams are potentially along Corin Road, and exclusion zone. Satellite imagery makes this situation a little more clear - both teams appear to have followed a track that is unmarked on IB Live. Phew!… Read more.

Division X team IBSC has just about reached the point where the east and west Division 5 routes reconnect. They have a formidable lead - it will be very difficult to catch them… Read more.

Bruce Division 1 have joined B&G in missing the Devils Gap Fire Trail turn-off. Will they run into each other?… Read more.

…isn’t always a good idea, as four Division 7 teams will likely find. Ursies, Yukeembruk, Lodge, and Wamburun have all inexplicably headed west, where they should have continued in a straight line south… Read more.

This year runners are fortunate to be able to run through the picturesque Booroomba Station, which we are very grateful to its landowners for affording runners this privilege. If they are particularly lucky teams might also be able to encounter these baby sheep we saw when course vetting… Read more.

B&G 1 are in a bit of trouble. They missed the Devils Gap Fire Trail turn-off and are heading straight for a section of Corin Road that is out of bounds. They are about to hit a T-intersection, which should hopefully be a warning that something is not quite right… Read more.

Wright Division 3 have made it to the base of Stockyard Spur. Behind them are Yukeembruk, who still have 500 metres to descend. Bruce is currently in third position… Read more.

The first Division 5 team are about to pass through the southern Boboyan Road crossing point. This is an interesting part of the course because teams must bush-bash to reach Brandy Flat Firetrail… Read more.

10 hours in, the Griffin Division 1 are just 620 metres ahead of B&G. Bruce are in third place, another kilometres behind… Read more.

It looks like we might get to see how the Tidbinbilla Range route-choice plays out after all. The Johns Division 7 team have already made it 100 vertical metres up the spur - they’ll have another 200 to go before they reach the top… Read more.

I guess they’re alWright!… Read more.

B&G Division 4 seem unsure about whether they want to ascend to Tidbinbilla range. They were near the front of the Division 4 pack, but have lost quite a lot of ground through these navigational choices… Read more.

It seems that Yukeembruk Division 4, who have been left behind by the rest of the Division, may have accidentally missed the turnoff onto Flat Rock Spur Fire Trail and headed down to part of the Cotter River… Read more.

Looks like some tracker errors have tricked us all in Div 7...B&G does in fact have a jump on the rest of the field!… Read more.

Moves have been made in Div 7!… Read more.

Pierce's creek strikes again! It looks like the Div 4 teams at the head of the race have begun to split as they enter Pierce's Creek. … Read more.

This is probably the most isolated of the race checkpoints of which teams elect one to pass we only expect some Div 2 teams to pass through here unless a div 5 takes the lone way around. Sadly this alpine hut was burnt down in 2003 so all runners will see are some brunt stumps… Read more.

It's been a while since we've checked in on Div 3..… Read more.

Looks like Johns 1 is going for the elevated but pine-free trails of the Tidbinbilla Range… Read more.

This is another CP of which teams must pass through one, we suspect this to be the busiest of them with Divs 1,3, 4, 6, & 7 able to pass through here… Read more.

Things could be about to get spicy in Div 6..… Read more.

Here's a crazy idea for Div 7...what if heading up to Camelback FT from the drop is actually faster?… Read more.

Division 7 -  Ash Road (-35.388384, 148.916752) … Read more.

Teams have to visit one of 4 checkpoints on course with this one being at Corin Dam, we will try get pictures of teams as they come through these. Only div 3 should pass through here, but teams from Divs 1 and 4 may also go through here if they take the scenic route… Read more.

Wright Division 6 are persisting in taking a southern route - this is very much not ideal. Either they still don’t know where they are, or they’ve chosen a very interesting route… Read more.

With the Division X IBSC team leading to the west (and Johns the front college team), and Fenner leading to the east, Division 5 should be an interesting one to watch! Teams have started to space out along the road. … Read more.

Sort of...… Read more.

They have developed a serious lead over the other Division 1 teams and don’t seem to be slowing down… Read more.

To the east of the Division 4 dropsite, B&G is developing a nice lead. The field is still packed fairly tightly, though - it could be anyone’s race… Read more.

It’s looking better for Wamburun’s Division 6, too. They’ll be enjoying the cold embrace of Vanity’s Crossing soon enough … Read more.

Burgmann Division 6 have pivoted and are heading back on track. Will they continue on to Vanity’s?… Read more.

Yukeembruk Division 4 have made a major decision to turn around and head back to Dropsite. Will they continue on south?… Read more.

Apologies, to all followers of the predictor turns out I plugged in the wrong EP (See finish logo (data entry error EP) vs the summit (real EP) to it mean that teams are finishing a tad early if they go north, hopefully people realised things were up when div 1 is forecast to get in to EP at 6:45Am still. I should have realised this looking at the graphs, I apologies to the algorithm for causing people to doubt it's forecasting skills and to those misled by it… Read more.

Most of the Division 6 teams are heading in the right direction (south-east, towards Vanity’s Crossing). Burgmann Division 6, meanwhile, are heading in precisely the opposite direction along Warks Road. Hopefully they can figure this out soon!… Read more.

Division X Team 3’s tracker was stationary at the sharp bend in Stevensons Trail for at least ten minutes. They must have been deep in thought, pondering whether to attempt one of the riskiest moves of this year’s race… a bush-bash of nearly two kilometres to bring them through to Old Boboyan Road. … Read more.

Earlier, I posted about the decision-point that the western set of Division 1 teams were approaching. All four of these teams have indeed taken their south-west route. … Read more.

The largest Division in this year’s event, about half of the Division 5 teams have now left Dropsite. Most are heading north-west towards Boboyan Road, though Fenner seems to have followed B&G Division 2 towards the east. Watch this space… Read more.

B&G’s Division 2 team have joined Ursies in heading past the Division 5 Dropsite and east along Naas Valley Fire Trail. Can B&G close the gap?… Read more.

The front two Division 3 teams have created a series margin between themselves and the rest of the Division. Very impressive - can they hold the lead?… Read more.

Poor Wamburun Division 3. While all the other teams head south down Wombat Road, Wamburun seem to be a bit confused. Hopefully they can reorientate themselves soon… Read more.

With five teams out of Dropsite, it seems Division 4 will be split right from the start. This should be interesting! Fenner and Bruce have taken the northern route, while Wamburun and Johns join Burgmann to the south… Read more.

The first team to leave the Division 4 Dropsite, Burgmann are pacing it down Bendora Road… Read more.

Teams have left the Division 6 Dropsite in every direction! This is very exciting. It’s highly likely that most of these teams have a ver limited idea of where they currently are… Read more.

Division 5 - Mt Clear Campground (-35.861446, 149.001867)… Read more.

Just as I finished praising Wamburun for taking the more direct route south through Bendora Arboretum, it looks like they’ve also changed their mind. It will be interesting to see whether they subsequently follow Bruce, Lodge, and Johns back south, or stick it out to the north-east… Read more.

The west set of Division 1 teams are about to approach a key intersection. Will they head south-west towards the cluster of Division 3 teams, or south-east towards the Division 4 Dropsite?… Read more.

It appears that Bruce and UniLodge’s Division 3 teams have had a change of heart. From Bendora Arboretum, they initially headed north-east, but have now made a 290 degree turn back towards the south-west. … Read more.

Griffin Division 1 are about to cross a section of the Cotter River known as Vanity’s Crossing. This is an area that the team will be very familiar with - Vanity’s is famed… Read more.

Back up in the north, Division 3 are reaching a crucial decision-point. From here, they can either head south to join back up to Mt Franklin Road, or work their way north-east (…or head directly east and attempt the famed ‘west ascent of Tidbinbilla’, but Fenner’s 2018 team can attest to that being a horrible idea…)… Read more.

Ursies Division 2 are currently in the middle of the Division 5 teams being shuttled to their Dropsite. They’ve chosen to head east along Naas Valley Fire Trail, which will be the only track they see for quite some time now. This is a relatively long route, but it’s flat… Read more.

The set of Division 1 teams that headed south at the last forking are now crossing Brindabella Road, headed up by Lodge… Read more.

While other Division 2 teams have headed along Boboyan Road until reaching the Old Boboyan Roach intersection Fenner Division 2 have made a break from the rest of the pack and have headed west along Grassy Creek Fire Trail. … Read more.

Division 5 appear to be nearing their Dropsite. They have an interesting Dropsite approach: since buses cannot reach Mt Clear Campground, Division 5 runners are being shuttled in cars from Boboyan Road through to their Dropsite. Their journey isn’t over yet! They’ll then be walked (while still blindfolded) into the middle of the campground. Confusing!… Read more.

We’re hopefully about to see teams separate a bit - the fork that the Division 2 teams are currently approaching is a key decision-point… Read more.

B&G 2 seem to have realised their error; they have turned around and are currently running back towards Shannons Flat… Read more.

Most of Brindabella Road is an exclusion zone, because it’s not safe for runners to travel along. However, there are a few zones that are marked as crossing points. Runners are allowed to cross at these specially-marked areas… Read more.

Division 3 are currently next to a region that is shaded yellow on the IB Live map. This is a Division-specific exclusion zone. The map that the runners have received stipulates that Divisions 2, 3, and 6 are not allowed to pass through this region… Read more.

If you like pine trees that are grown not to be cut down this is the place for you it's also home to a shortcut for div 3 teams to use to avoid heading all the way down to intersection of the Bendora Break and Arboretum. It also marks one of the sites where a toilet is available to teams which our course setters have conveniently now included on maps to make one aspect of route planning a bit easier… Read more.

If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that Division 2 have all been travelling along the same route so far. That is no longer the case… Read more.

Here, the race gets interesting! It’s no longer just about which team is fastest on their feet - throughout Inward Bound, good route choice can make a world of difference… Read more.

We haven’t heard about Division 2 in a while - let’s take a look. So far, all of the teams have headed along the same route through Shannons Flat. The interesting sections of their navigation is still to come… Read more.

While Divisions 1-3 are battling it out on course in the depths of the night, Division 7 are enjoying their journey to Dropsite. The blue lighting really adds to the aura… Read more.

The Division 3 B&G team have had a relatively slow start to the race. They initially ran north to Brindabella Road, but managed to avoid entering the exclusion zone. It then looked like they could be heading along a whitelisted trail alongside Brindabella Creek. This would have been interesting - it’s not the optimal route, but it would have been nice to see some route-choice variety… Read more.

Jumping back to Division 1 for the first time in a while, teams remain very close together. However, that’s about to change. … Read more.

Division 3’s dropsite is very close to Brindabella Road, an exclusion zone. It looks like B&G and Johns haven’t quite picked their location on the map because they did not turn down Honeysuckle Trail with the rest of the Division… Read more.

Last year, Endpoint was at Hume’s Crossing Campground, a gorgeous location. Little does does Ciaran know, en route to his Dropsite, he has been brought back… Read more.

They’ve all chosen the head northwest towards Bobeyan Road. This is the fastest route. Will they all continue to go the same direction, as we’re seeing in Division 1?… Read more.

I’m glad that Johns have been doing lots of mockdrops in preparation for this event. Oh, is that not what this means?… Read more.

For the first time since they were dropped, all of the Division 1 trackers have successfully updated simultaneously. This gives us a clear picture of what’s currently going on on course… Read more.

Division 2 - Jones Plain Road (-36.017639, 148.958944) … Read more.

The predictor is now up and running!, at the start will be super volatile and likely under estimate time of arrival just after drop (over estimate eventual overall average GAP (Gradient Adjusted Pace)) as typically teams start off hot/fast (see below graph of speeds of historical IB teams) with it taking time for teams to settle in a rhythm and on a route. It also assumes optimal navving which is probably unlikely, only accounting for the terrain and distance of the optimal route ahead. This means it will also not consider other factors that may slow a team down like a trail being overgrown… Read more.

It seems our Course Setters got too see some electro magnetic activity in the sky last night apparently cloud cover may have ruined this for many runners whilst actually on course… Read more.

They’re also heading the right direction. All four teams that have left so far seem fairly close. Remembering that there’s a delay in the tracking updates, it is difficult to tell who is in the lead at the moment… Read more.

Have you ever wanted to know what it’s like to travel in a blacked-out bus? Can’t say it was on my bucket list prior to participating in IB, but you never know… Read more.

Each year, the Course Setters (in 2024, Ben Grace and Jackson Jolly) create course maps that specifically define and describe the race area. … Read more.

To potentially confuse the Division 1 navigators, the Course Setters have included some red-herring exclusion zones in the south part of the course, including a zone which is very cheekily listed as excluded for Divisions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (ie. everyone except Division 1). Will this trick some teams into thinking they’re on the south half of the map?… Read more.

Guided by the all-seeing, all-knowing Ollie “The Oracle” James, ex-Bruce imports Maxine “Neo” Wu and Harry “Morpheus” Arnold saw the light and took the “Red” (back) pill, breaking free from their blissful ignorance and delusion of the “Blue” Bruce past. As the saying goes, all good things come in threes, and these two converts flank Milly “Trinity” Hobbs, forming the iconic Div Holy Trinity… Read more.
