Event Details
Course Description
The courses start and finish in the heart of Gallipoli Park, weaving along the crystal‑clear Steavenson River and past the iconic Steavenson Falls. Runners traverse towering eucalypt forests, fern‑lined gullies and rugged mountain tracks, with challenging climbs that reward you with panoramic lookout views. Shorter distances stay on gentle forest loops, while the 50 km and 100 km routes tackle steep ascents and technical terrain. Every route showcases the natural beauty of Marysville’s high‑country valleys, making each kilometre a memorable trail‑running experience.
