Event Details
Course Description
The courses start at the front gates of Mount Avoca Winery, winding through vine‑lined corridors before heading into the rugged ridges and gravel tracks of the Pyrenees State Forest. Runners will tackle rolling hills, technical single‑track, and rewarding climbs, with the iconic ‘Tasty Trail’ cheese and wine aid station perched on the final hill. Shorter routes stay closer to the vineyards, while the marathon pushes deep into the forest’s rugged terrain. All distances finish at the winery’s cellar door, where a complimentary glass of wine awaits each finisher.
