Event Details
Course Description
The GPT100 Miler follows the full 162km spine of the Grampians Peaks Trail from Mt Zero in the north to Dunkeld in the south, climbing and descending roughly 7,700m over sandstone slabs, stairs and technical rocky outcrops. Runners pass the Taipan Wall, Pinnacles Lookout, Mount Rosea, the Seven Dials and Redmans Bluff before a brutal final stretch over Mud-Dadjug/Mt Abrupt and Wurgarri/Mt Sturgeon into Dunkeld. Eleven aid stations support the route. The same trail network hosts three shorter linked events on this listing: the GPT50K (Mt Zero to Halls Gap), the GPT33 (the final southern peaks section into Dunkeld) and the Dunkeld 2km/5km community trail runs, all run across the same November long weekend.
Getting There
The basecamp is at Halls Gap Centenary Hall on Grams Road. From Melbourne, take the Western Highway (M8) north‑west for ~260 km; Halls Gap is well sign‑posted. Free on‑site parking is available at the hall. Limited shuttle buses run from the town centre on race days. Arrive at least two hours before your start to collect your bib and gear.

Weather & What to Pack
November is late spring in the Grampians, with mild days averaging 18-22°C and cool mornings around 10-12°C. Weather on the exposed ridgelines can change quickly, with sun exposure, wind and occasional showers all possible over the course of the multi-day event. Layered clothing, a waterproof jacket and sun protection are essential, and the mandatory gear list reflects this variability. Carry adequate water and electrolytes, especially on the longer distances where aid stations are widely spaced.
