Run Forrest Trail Run : Maps and course information
Run Forrest Trail Run takes place in Forrest around the Barwon River, Lake Elizabeth and West Barwon Dam. Course maps may slightly vary depending on conditions. The event uses a race village on the banks of the Barwon River as the start and finish hub.
Distances offered
- 21 km with approximately 750–800 m elevation
- 10 km
- 6 km
- Kids 6 km
The 21 km course follows the Barwon River and the Red Carpet trail to Lake Elizabeth, then around fern banks near Lake Elizabeth. The route is a circuit that returns to the race village and contains tight off-camber turns, fast downhill sections and undulating terrain. The 10 km course follows the same corridor with a turnaround at the top of the Red Carpet. The 6 km and Kids 6 km use the first half of the 10 km course and include the Fernery Trail and the section across the top of the West Barwon Dam.
There are three water stations located on the route at about 5.5 km, 8 km (Lake Elizabeth carpark) and 16 km. Water stations are not available for 6 km runners or the Kids race, so participants in those events must carry their own water.
Race brief attendance is required for all participants and race number plates are issued from the registration tent on race day; number plates are not mailed to competitors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
