TrailsPlus Mountain Trail Series - Race 3
The You Yangs state park is located about 55km south-west of Melbourne, just west of the township of Little River. A granite out crop that reaches skyward to a peak height of 334M, the trails in the You Yangs regional park are a true test of the trail runners spirit. Whether stepping off road for the first time and tackling the 15km event or as a seasoned trail junkie taking on the 80km ultra, you will begin to appreciate the harsh land that can be found in so many places around Australia. This race is held in the middle of winter when the park is at its visual best with lush greenery and local birdlife on display. It can be a very different story in the middle of summer when dust and wind can turn the park into a less pleasant and much more harsh environment.
BBQ facilities makes this an ideal location for a family picnic.
This race caters for all levels of runner providing a 15km, a 30km, a 50km and an 80km event.
