Event Details
About This Event
A scenic trail run around Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura, offering a mix of gentle paths and challenging climbs. Perfect for all levels.
Course Description
The Ainslie Amble explores some of the oldest and most loved trails in Canberra, around the base of Mt Ainslie, along with more recent single tracks on Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura. The novice 2km race follows the houses behind Duffy St, Ainslie, while the middle distance 8.3km route wanders up and around the saddle of Mt Majura. The longer 16.4km race is a testing yet thoroughly enjoyable outing, adding a full loop of Mt Ainslie, including a gut-busting ascent of the southern face and sections of the Centenary Trail.
