As the home of multiday long-distance running events in Australia, Independent Runner Events recognise the achievements of runners in our events over several levels of difficulty. We aim to promote friendly competition amongst our runners to see who can achieve the highest streak levels, who can be the fastest, and who can have the most completions.
There is no additional cost to join our clubs. Each level will be assessed at the completion of each event series to determine who will be the next to be recognised here.
