Dickens Real Estate 8k Trail Run Course Map
We wanted to bring you the best trails, so for this 8km run we are heading up into Mystic Park. Early Bird registration is open now until the 31st July 2023. You can register here.
The course starts with a short section of flowy single trail where runners will be feeling good. Then BANG the first Steep climb. This climb is short but must be respected. The locals call it the "hill of Death" Once through it you'll find much needed relief and a sensational down hill section of fire road. which you will take all the way into the Bakers Gully trail network. From here you have some beautiful single trail to get your juices flowing. Just as you're feeling like you're home and you can hear the cheer of the finish line you have a steep little climb that will test you mentally. With heaps of adrenaline pumping you have the fast down hill single trail of the Huggins walking track and your there.

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.
