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 handicap format, this will be a highlight race of the series.
Long Course: 22 kilometres, Medium Course: 15 kilometres, Short Course: 7.3 kilometres. After the incredible success of last year’s race, the series finale at Silvan will again be conducted in a handicap format where all runners start at different times (according to your speed).
