Race details
- 18 km course through mixed trail around Gold Creek Reservoir, with total elevation gain of 750 m.
- 36 km option (Pinnacles Double).
The route direction alternates by year; odd years are run anti-clockwise. There is one checkpoint approximately halfway on the course providing water, coke, Tailwind electrolyte drink, and lollies. Runners must carry at least 750 ml of fluids. Post-race provisions include fresh fruit and replenishment drinks; coffee and smoothies are available to purchase. Participants park at Brookfield Recreation Reserve and are bused to the reservoir because there is no on-site parking. A full race map is provided by the organiser. Care for the environment is requested, including no littering or running off marked trails. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
