THE RACE 2 - 11 JULY - SMITHS GULLY 7KM I 14KM I 18KM
Race program WELCOME TO THE 2021 TRAIL RUNNING SERIES Ooooh… it’s so good to be back! Back together and back on the trails doing the things we love! We really enjoyed seeing all runners at Race #1 at Yarra Bend on 20 June and appreciated the enthusiasm everyone showed despite the wave-start-COVID-format. We’re excited that Race #2 can go ahead in a traditional format with the regular mass starts and popular social atmosphere in the event centre - this will be a true celebration of trails together! Race #2 will take us to Smiths Gully for one of the Series’s most popular courses with its delightful mix of farming and bushland, rolling hills and undulating trails providing views across the Yarra Valley. The area is filled with quaint country villages with charismatic general stores, wineries, cafes and well stocked bakeries and is well worth exploring after your run by stopping for a nice lunch somewhere local. We’re looking forward to seeing you again as we take to the trails for race #2. The Rapid Ascent team
