KX Trail 21.0 & 21.1
Event description
KX Trail acknowledges the traditional owners of the land we gather and run within. We acknowledge 60,000 years of care, respect and stewardship of the Country that we experience when we run.
We pay our respects to elders past, present and future. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and support the treaty process - It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
