Quick Facts
Getting There
The event is based at Boar Gully Campground in Brisbane Ranges National Park, Balliang, approximately 80km west of Melbourne. Drive via Bacchus Marsh on the Western Freeway, then follow signs to Brisbane Ranges National Park. Parking is available on-site—please review the car parking information provided by organisers beforehand. Arrive at least 60 minutes before your race start time for check-in and briefing. Public transport options are limited to this regional location, so driving is recommended.
Weather & What to Pack
Mid-June in Victoria brings cool to cold conditions, with typical temperatures ranging from 7-14°C. Morning starts can be particularly chilly, so layer up with removable outer layers for the early starters. The park environment may feel several degrees cooler than Melbourne, especially in shaded bushland sections. Rain is possible during winter months, making trails potentially muddy and slippery. Pack weather-proof gear, wear trail shoes with good grip, and bring warm clothing for post-race. Hydration remains important despite cooler temperatures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear for a winter trail run?
Layer up with moisture-wicking base layers, a mid-layer for warmth, and a lightweight waterproof jacket. Trail running shoes with good grip are essential. Consider gloves and a beanie for early morning starts, which you can stash once you warm up.
Is this event suitable for first-time trail runners?
The 10km distance is a great introduction to trail running, though the terrain is more technical than road running. The longer distances (42km and 50km) are better suited to experienced trail runners comfortable with elevation and extended time on feet.
What facilities are available at the event?
The event is based at Boar Gully Campground with check-in, briefings, and start/finish facilities on-site. Aid stations will be positioned along each course. Specific facilities will be confirmed in the pre-race event guide.
When should I register?
Early bird registration offers the best value. Standard pricing runs until 5th June, with late registration available until race day (with additional admin fees). Register online through Humanitix to secure your spot and avoid on-the-day price increases.
How does Trailsplus support the community?
Trailsplus donates $1 per participant to Canteen, the Australian organisation supporting young people living with cancer. To date, they've donated over $80,000. Registration uses Humanitix, a not-for-profit platform that donates 100% of booking fee profits to humanitarian causes.
