Event Details
Course Description
The Coastrek Mornington Peninsula routes wind along Victoria’s dramatic coastline, starting at Cape Schanck (50 km), Point Nepean (30 km) or Sorrento (20 km) and finish at Point Nepean. Expect a mix of sandy beaches, rugged clifftop tracks and shaded bush trails, with checkpoints roughly every 15 km offering water, snacks and toilets. The 20 km trek is a gentle introduction, while the 30 km and 50 km distances add longer stretches of undulating terrain and more demanding navigation. All routes showcase stunning ocean views, hidden coves and native flora, providing both a physical challenge and a rewarding coastal experience.
