A very special thank you to Albury City Council for their incredible support of the Nail Can Hill Run over the past 50 years.

From funding and erecting the banner stretched across Dean Street, to access to the Nail Can Hill site itself, Bonnie Doon Park usage approvals, safety cones, barriers for the finishing chute, wheelie bins and countless behind-the-scenes logistical support items — Council assistance is woven right through the fabric of the event.

The Nail Can Hill Run has become one of the region’s great community traditions, and for five decades Albury City Council has been a valued and dependable partner in helping make it happen.

Thank you for your longstanding commitment to this event and for continuing to support the spirit of the hill.

A sincere thank you to True Grit 4WD Club for keeping our runners hydrated across Nail Can Hill on race day.

With four water stations spread across the course, the True Grit team played an important role in helping competitors push through the challenge of the hill safely and strongly. Whether runners were chasing a personal best, tackling the course for the first time, or simply trying to make it to the finish line, those welcome bottles of water made a real difference.

Like so much of the Nail Can Hill Run, this support happens through the generosity of community volunteers quietly getting the job done behind the scenes.

We greatly appreciate the time, effort and enthusiasm the True Grit 4WD Club brought to the event once again this year. Thank you for helping keep the spirit of the hill alive. https://www.truegrit4wdclub.au/
