THE COURSE

8km Trail Run

This course takes in some spectacular and beautiful trails within Novotel Forest Resort and golf course , skirting Creswick Regional Park. But don't be lulled into a false sense of seurity, this is no walk in the park, this course is a true off road trail run where competitors will go off road along trails, single track, rocky trails, creek crossings and hills.

This is an OFF ROAD trail run, expect to get wet, muddy & dirty. An off road shoe gives runners the advantage of grip, stability & drainage which will be invaluable on this terrain.

4km Fun Run

The 4km Fun Run is a 4km circuit along trails and single track and includes some beautiful scenery. The run finishes at Race HQ. The fun run is suitable for those over 10 years of age, beginners and those just out to have a bit of fun and will provide some off road fun for everyone!
