About this event
Escape to the mountains and the dense rainforests of The Dandenongs for some real fresh air and freedom.
The Silvan area of the Dandenongs is quite simply a magnificent part of the world – and this race is often the highlight of the series for many runners (despite being the hardest!).
You’ll run through mighty Mountain Ash forests that reach to the sky, you’ll run past lush tree ferns and gullies of verdant undergrowth all in the friendly company of the local birdlife, including crimson rosellas, kookaburras and the superb lyrebird.
Conducted in the NEW HANDICAP FORMAT this will be a highlight race of the series.
WHERE: The Silvan Reservoir Park, Dandenong Ranges
DISTANCES:
Long Course: 22km
Medium Course: 15km
Short Course: 7.5km
FORMAT: The series finnale at Silvan will be conducted in a NEW handicap format where all runners start at different times (according to your speed) so that we all FINISH AT THE SAME TIME for a real post-run celebration!
Standard races mean we all start together but finish all spread apart and disparate – well we’re turning that on its head at Silvan because we want to finish The Series all together, with all runners descending on the finish line in unison as a true celebration of trail.
HOW? We’ll advise all runners of a suggested start time according to your speed – slower runners start first and faster runners starting later. Set off at your allocated time and run and enjoy the trails as normal, you’ll slowly catch the slower runners in front while the faster runners catch you and we’ll all unite at the finish line at the same time together!
THIS IS GOING TO BE TERRIFIC!
