Run Forrest Trail Elevations
21km Course 10am
The 21km course will start at the Run Forrest Race Village situated on the banks of the Barwon River (access from Hennigan Crescent Forrest – trail walk – no parking at Village).
The trail run will follow the Barwon River along the famous Red Carpet to Lake Elizabeth. The Red Carpet is a favourite amongst mountain bikers for its dynamic technical sections, fern covered single track and fast downhill corners.
Now we get a chance to run it…..
Run Forrest also gives trail runners access to the beautiful fern banks surrounding the majestic Lake Elizabeth.
The course is tough with tight, off cambered turns, fast down hills and undulating with plenty of flow.
The course is a circuit ending at the race village on the banks of the Barwon River.
10km Course 10.30am
The 10km course will start at the Run Forrest Race Village situated on the banks of the Barwon River (access from Hennigan Crescent Forrest – trail walk – no parking at Village).
The 10km course will be just as much fun as the 21km but with a turnaround at the top of the Red Carpet. This offers its own unique challenges.
What a course!…..pure running pleasure
