Going for a run through magnificent wilderness on a Sunday morning with a bunch of like minded souls sounds just about perfect – and that’s exactly what this series is all about!
The Trail Running Series is all about making trail running accessible to as many people as possible. You don’t need years of experience nor all the latest gear… all you need is a come-and-try-it attitude and a bit of fitness to get around the course. All races are designed to be fun, scenic and rewarding for all runners with a friendly event atmosphere that is truly welcoming of everyone.
Race 1 for 2025 is located in Blackwood, within the midsts of the Lerderderg State Park, just 75mins from Melbourne. Starting and Finishing at the Blackwood Recreation Reserve with the Lerderderg River trickling by, the small rural village is surrounded by bushland and has a very friendly and welcoming vibe.
Each course provides some great running with a delightful mix of forest and bushland trails beside the Lerderdeg River, along aquaduct trails and weaving single track – it truly is a hidden gem for trail runners!
