Our Green Commitment
The International Trail Running Association (ITRA) Green Charter seeks to encourage the trail running community to join forces, working together to reduce the environmental impact of our sport. It lists practical step[s event organisers can take to be more eco-responsible.

Coffs Backyard Ultra takes place on the Coffs Creek Track adjacent to the Coffs Creek within the Solitary Islands Marine Park.
Coffs Creek is a diverse and beautiful estuarine system of coastal swamp forests, rocky shores, mangroves, mudflats and salt marshes leading to incredible beaches and island vistas.
It is a dynamic brackish environment inhabited by a variety of fauna including fish, crustaceans, shorebirds and waders.
The Buluunggal walk section of Coffs Creek walk has a number of colourful interpretive signs describing how the Gumbaynggir people use the creek. Buluunggal is the Gumbaynggirr name for the creek, meaning mullet.
We ask that runners during the event or training:
- Do not disturb wildlife
- Stay on existing tracks to avoid soil erosion
- Do not litter or an automatic disqualification will occur
- Be eco-responsible where possible
