Run Forrest Trail Run : Forrest, VIC
Run Forrest Trail Run is a trail running event staged in the Otways at Forrest. Distances offered are listed below.
- 21km
- 10km
- 6km
- 6km Kids
The race village is located on the banks of the Barwon River with access from Hennigan Crescent; there is no parking at the village and access involves a trail walk. Runners must collect their race bib and sign in at the registration tent on race day; number plates are not posted before the event. A race briefing is mandatory for all participants.
The 21km course leaves the riverbank and follows the Barwon River along the Red Carpet to Lake Elizabeth, then through fern-lined single track and undulating terrain before returning to the race village as a circuit. The 10km course follows the same corridor with a turnaround at the top of the Red Carpet and finishes at the village. The 6km and Kids 6km use the first half of the 10km route, running along the river to the Fernery Trail, across the top of the West Barwon Dam and back to the village.
There are three water stations on the route at approximately 5.5km, 8km (Lake Elizabeth carpark) and 16km; water stations are not available for 6km or Kids entries so those participants must carry their own water. The 21km course includes three road crossings that will be managed by event staff and where runners must give way to traffic when directed.
Event policy notes that registrations are non refundable but transfers are permitted through the registration site, and race management may cancel or modify the event under adverse conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
