Race 1 brings trail running as close to the centre of Melbourne as possible while still providing an enriching wilderness experience running beside the Yarra River and its natural bushland setting.
As soon as you commence the trail you’ll be immersed in nature as you follow this remarkably scenic course beside the twists and turns of the mighty Yarra, over scenic foot bridges, through historic eucalypt bushland, past colonies of fruit bats and pockets of parkland you never knew existed. All courses are quite flat and devoid of any lung busting hills, making for an ideal and accessible introduction to trail running. We’re sure you’ll love it!
The start / finish area at the Studley Park Boathouse feels like it’s a world away from the urban environment just over the rise and is well equipped for a post-run coffee and cake at the tea rooms.
(The series finale race #5 - the NIGHT RUN - is also at Studley Park on the same trails as race #1. This means you will be familiar with the trails when it comes to running them by the light of your head torch in September!)
