• Start at 7am from the Dromana information centre (big yellow building in the small park on the corner of the Point Nepean Hwy and Permien St. Dromana (Melways 159 F7)
• We do not want to put local authorities off side. This is NOT an officially sanctioned event, runners participating in the run do so at their own risk
• There are a number of boardwalk sections covered in chicken wire. Large runners (80kg plus) are advised to take it very easy as some of the boards are rotten. If you bound through at full throttle you may break a board (and maybe an ankle too)
• This course is amongst the most scenic in Australia. Runners are treated to a range of surfaces and settings: single track, coastal trail, grassy trail, dirt road and forest canopy.
• The run starts with a demanding uphill, rising 1,000ft in the first 3km, providing stunning views over Port Phillip Bay. The 5km section approaching the 28km mark at Cape Schanck takes runners along a breathtaking track, along the cliffs that rise above Bass Strait. This section runs past Bushrangers Bay, which is only accessible on foot: it is a special reward.
