Run The Maine : Edition 18
Run The Maine is in its 18th edition and takes place at Camp Reserve in Castlemaine, Victoria. The event includes a point to point half marathon that uses a steam train to deliver runners to the start line, plus shorter loop and out-and-back options in and around Castlemaine.
Distances offered include:
- Half Marathon: Maldon to Castlemaine, point to point, follows the steam train route
- 10 km: Walmer Forest loop, climbs out of Castlemaine and loops back
- 5 km: Botanical Gardens out and back, fast and almost flat in Castlemaine
The Half Marathon runs from Maldon to Castlemaine through a mix of dense woodland and open paddocks, using well made fire trails and paths that follow the historic Goldfields Steam Train route. The 10 km course includes a steady climb into Walmer Forest and follows creeks at either end before returning toward town. The 5 km course is an almost flat out and back route through Castlemaine’s historic botanical gardens.
Event entries are listed with separate categories and pricing tiers for each distance, including concession options and merchandise availability for volunteers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
