Event Details
Course Description
The Huon Hill Trail Run starts at the meeting point on Huon Hill, Bandiana and winds through open trail, bush tracks and steady climbs. The Long Course (14.8 km) tackles 435 m of elevation gain, rewarding runners with panoramic vistas over the Murray River valley before a fast return to the summit. The Short Course (5 km) provides a gentler 180 m climb, perfect for newcomers to trail running. Both routes are well marked, with a single aid station on the Long Course offering water, electrolytes and snacks. Runners must bring a mobile phone and at least 500 mL of fluid for the longer distance.
Getting There
The meeting point is at Huon Hill in the Bandiana suburb of Wodonga. Parking near the summit is limited, so car‑pool where possible. For detailed directions, parking maps and public transport options, please visit the official event website.

Weather & What to Pack
April in Wodonga is autumn, with typical daytime highs around 23 °C and overnight lows near 9 °C. Expect clear skies and low humidity, but be prepared for a chill on the hills. Dress in layers – a breathable base, warm mid‑layer and wind‑proof jacket – and carry enough fluid for the cooler conditions.
