Course Description

Commencing at the Start/Finish Event Village at Kalorama Memorial Reserve, runners depart the reserve along Hands Rd, then Jasper Rd and continuing to Old Coach Rd. These low traffic roads will be marshalled for clear direction.

Turn right onto Old Mountain Rd and then left onto Fireline Track until you get to Observatory Track. Turn Left and commence the steep climb to the top of the Mountain!

A right turn onto Kyeema track, runners follow this trail across the hillside catching a great view as they go at Burkes Lookout, before a fun descent down the zig zags through tall Mountain Ash and Rainforest Ferns. 

Before reaching Doongalla, 12k runners turn right onto the Dacite Track and then into Fireline Track and Singleton Terrace, joining up with the longer course again. Runners then gradually climb toward Kalorama Park.

Runners then return along Old Coach Rd, Jasper Rd and Hands Rd to the Event Village at Kalorama Reserve.

This course is true to its name: Mad!
