Woodford Dam - Short Course Series Race 5 - 16/13km
The trails around Woodford Dam have been virtually unknown to the public, being locked away as Catchment land beyond public access for many decades until a few years ago. When the Sydney Catchment Authority opened these areas to the public, word spread slowly through the local running and mountain biking community. Steep trails through quiet valleys appealed as a perfect venue for the Running Wild series.
The course mixed in hills and water- following the edge of the dam and passing several quiet waterfalls with four big hills and corresponding downhills. This was our second race in series one, but sadly roadworks on the Great Western Highway prevented this run from occurring in subsequent seasons.
