The 21 km course follows the Barwon River and the Red Carpet trail to Lake Elizabeth, then around fern banks and back to the race village as a circuit. The 10 km course uses the same start and includes a turnaround at the top of the Red Carpet. The 6 km and kids courses use the first half of the 10 km route, passing the Fernery Trail and the top of the West Barwon Dam before returning to the village. There are three water stations on the longer courses (at about 5.5 km, 8 km at Lake Elizabeth carpark, and 16 km); water stations are not available for 6 km or kids entrants, who must carry their own water. The 21 km route includes three road crossings that are manned for most of the day; when unmanned, runners must give way to traffic. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
