Trail Run Wine Weekend at Mount Avoca Winery
The Trail Run Wine Weekend is a multi-day running and camping event held at Mount Avoca Winery in the Pyrenees from 13 to 15 November. The event uses vineyard corridors, State Forest ridge lines and gravel tracks for all courses. A cheese and wine aid station sits on the Saturday courses near a final hill. Finishers of the longer Saturday courses receive an engraved wine glass and a complimentary drink from the Mount Avoca cellar door.
The weekend includes a variety of race formats across two days, plus a looped relay and a short night time time trial. The event village and campsite operate across Friday and Saturday nights with communal fire pits, food vendors, live acoustic music and an ute bar. Camping is available on the winery grounds with toilets and hot showers; children under five camp free. Mount Avoca also offers Eco-Luxe Lodges with vineyard views, breakfast and a complimentary bottle of wine.
Dogs are permitted in the event and camping areas but must be kept on a lead and remain within designated areas because neighbouring properties have sheep. The event runs alongside mountain bike activities and a Victorian MTB Championship series program.
