We educate and foster the connection to the surrounding environment and appreciation for the cultural significance of the area.

We increase community connection, while positively influencing mental and physical health.

We connect visiting and local trail runners, encouraging destination trail running trips outside of peak periods.

Friday morning is our regular weekly run, usually meeting in Halls Gap or nearby. The Friday run is for everyone, regardless of pace or trail experience. stay tuned to the socials for the start time & location, then it's as simple as turning up!

On the weekends we may venture further afield. Our specials board may require an intermediate or advanced trail background. To join a run on the specials board, send a DM ahead of time and we'll work out logistics. Want to check out the trails by yourself?
