Course Description

The Surf Coast Wonderfalls Trail Run takes runners through the rugged Otway trails behind Lorne on Victoria's Great Ocean Road, starting and finishing at Cumberland River Holiday Park. All distances open with three river crossings within the first 2km (ankle to knee deep depending on rainfall), followed by coastal bushland, technical singletrack and up to six waterfalls on the longer courses. Unlike most Trailsplus events, Wonderfalls runs on a Saturday, not Sunday.

Weather & What to Pack
