The Epic 8km Trail Run – Are You Ready?
We’ve picked out some of the best trails around, and for this 8km adventure, we’re heading up into Mystic Park! Early Bird registration is open until March 31, 2025—so don’t miss out! Sign up now!
What to Expect on the Course
The fun begins with a smooth, flowy section of single trail—you’ll be feeling great… until, BAM! It’s time for your first steep climb. It’s short, but trust us, it’s tough. Locals call it the "Hill of Death"—and for good reason! 😅 But don’t worry, conquer this and you’ll be rewarded with an awesome downhill fire road leading you straight into the Bakers Gully trail network.
🌿 From here, it’s all about the single track! You’ll cruise through beautiful trails, soaking up the scenery and feeling strong. Just when you think you’re almost home—you hear the cheers from the finish line—but wait… there’s one last sneaky climb to test your grit! 💪
🚀 The final stretch? Pure adrenaline-fueled downhill along the Huggins Walking Track—fast, fun, and an epic way to finish! You’ve got this!

Age Requirements
Our race rules have been tailored around recommendations set out in The FIT Model by Athletics Australia. We understand that there are variations in the physical and mental development of children and adolescents and that there will be younger runners that are fit and able to run the longer distances but want to ensure that our race rules provide an extra level of safety and caution for the younger runners should they wish to participate. This is why we have said certain ages for certain race lengths will need to run with an adult. How you manage this on the course is your discretion and we trust that adults running with young runners know their ability and can make the best choices to suit their own requirements on the day. The course will be well marked and marshalled however we still caution all runners to be aware on how to manage themselves should they encounter a snake, have a fall, or find themselves off course.
