Important Changes for 2012
The run start is moving from an evening start to a morning start. The new start time is 8:30 AM We are making a number of other changes to improve the event, stay tuned for announcements throughout the year. We are moving the run so that it will be at a cooler time of the day, which will make the event more pleasurable and safer.

A brief description of the run
- The run starts in Williams St in Lorne, to get to the start go up Bay St.
- The run is in three waves, the first wave of Open runners starts at 8:30am. Aim to be at the start at least 15 minutes prior to your wave start.
- The run heads up the hill and then into the forest behind Lorne
- The first drink station is at the Allenvale carpark, there are drink stations, at the mouth of the George River (on the Great Ocean Road) and at the Pier and again at the finish. We advise all runners to grab a drink as hydration is important for you safety and comfort.
- When you head off the road and into the forest allow other runners to pass you, the track is narrow in places.
- You MUST obey the race officials when crossing the Great Ocean Road as traffic is flowing one way.
- Once you leave the road the course is along the track and finishes back in front of the surf club.
Remember it’s a fun run.
