EVENT DETAILS

 

THE RUNS
50km / 25km / 21km / 14km / 9km / 5km / 3km / 100m TTT

Go for the ultra and run in the footsteps of legendary lumberjacks, test your quads with a double that takes you up Donna Buang and back down again...or maybe Little Joe's Night Terror is more to your liking, or hang it, go for everything and take on our Multiday Madness Challenge? Options, options. Whatever you choose bring your lilo, because trail running just got floaties... 

THE LILO DERBY
YOU. A TRAIL. A RIVER. A FLOATIE DEVICE. 

Yes. Weird. Different. But true: trail running just got its first ever event where floaties are the fashion. It's fun, frivolous and for everyone. It's also mandatory for those in the Multiday Madness, of course. Yes, dress ups are allowed (encouraged, even). Now in its third year, the patented WTF Lilo Derby is a fair dinkum crowd pleaser whether you dress for excess or kit yourself out as a river racer.

OFF TRAIL ENTERTAINMENT
A FILM. A SEMINAR. MUSE.

Details are still in the conjuring pot, but we are looking to fill the mountain town of Warburton with all manner of off-trail trail running goodness, including a presenter with pizazz who will help us all with our trail antics, plus a film that will concentrate on wilderness and wow us all... stay tuned for more details...

Warburton Valley

Only an hour-and-a-half drive from the Melbourne CBD, but a whole world away – ditch the concrete jungle for a fern-fringed one and come and play in the Warburton Valley. There's plenty of running, but also a plethora of walking options, mountain biking, road cycling with big hills, river recreation (paddling, swimming, liloing), camping, birdwatching, hang gliding (yes...), along with tasty cafes and restaurants (yes, great coffee), galleries, and shopping. Warburton Trail Festival – a weekend running getaway with the lot.
