Course Description
The 14 km Delatite River course starts at 8 am from Mirimbah Park and follows a swooping single‑track through vibrant montane forests at the foot of Mt Buller. Runners will wade the crystal‑clear headwaters of the Delatite River and choose to tackle the upstream or downstream leg first, before reaching both checkpoints to finish. Scenic river views, occasional water crossings and a double‑species bonus (Rainbow and Brown) add excitement. The trail is well‑marked, with moderate elevation gain, making it a memorable summer adventure for trail enthusiasts.
