13 weeks and 6 days

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.

The series finale 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.
