Trail Run

Immerse YOURSELF IN GARIWERD

Let’s face it. The truth is, trail runners are always on the hunt for the next adventure. Whether it’s on a 5km stretch of dirt that’s been found accidentally, or a flight is booked to head further than one’s own backyard, it’s something that all trail runners enjoy – exploration of the unknown.

It’s exhilarating, and it’s intrepid. We can all agree.

So on that note, there’s now an incredible opportunity for athletes to race in a world class destination for walking and hiking, where animal and plant life is abundant, and Aboriginal rock art paintings and shelters are ancient and full of mystery.

Race the Grampians Peaks Trail 100 Miler at speed and target that PB in the wild, or take it easy and absorb every breath you take. Either way, the newest event on the trail calendar is as rugged as it is beautiful with 164km of terrain that will blow your mind.

Course directorconstruction began in 2015. A location about three hours west of Melbourne, the race begins at Mount Zero (the very tip of the Grampians mountain range) and winds its way southwards towards Dunkeld.
