Event Details
Course Description
The event offers two trail options on Mt Majura Nature Reserve. The 5 km race follows a single loop of well‑maintained fire‑trail through native eucalypt forest, featuring gentle undulations, short climbs and rewarding views of the surrounding hills and open grasslands. The 10 km distance repeats the same loop twice, providing an extended challenge for seasoned runners while keeping the terrain consistent. The course is clearly marked, mostly on soft‑packed ground, and showcases the tranquil natural setting of the reserve, making it both a pleasant and motivating experience for participants of all abilities.
Getting There
Mt Majura Nature Reserve lies north‑east of Canberra, ACT. Parking is available at the reserve’s main car‑park; most participants drive as public transport options are limited. For detailed directions, parking information and any bus routes, please visit the ACT Masters Athletics website.
