Now in its 9th year, The Macedon trail runs remains a must do event. Held at a time of the year that sees the mountain at its late Autumn best. Misty fog often hides the runner just 10M in front of you on the trail. The moist lush bush and soft trails make it both a pleasure and challenge to traverse. Slips and falls can be common place if you loose your concentration. Exposed temperatures will bite, yet the the sheltered pockets often see the jackets unzipped to get some fresh air. When you run Macedon once you just want more, not immediately but you will be back.
But the real challenge of the Mt Macedon trails are undoubtably the lack of flat sections. Offering a choice of 10km - 21km - 30km - 42km - 50km distances theres an option for all levels, but beware, we may suggest you take on a shorter option if your not quite up for the challenge that is Mt Macedon. Bring it on..
And with our 10th edition in 2020 will you be up for the double?, yes we are working to create that much sort after 100km challenge in serious mountain trails, can you handle a night time start, then join the 50km runners as the sun rises, this may just happen. As a special one off edition of Macedon Trail Runs, unless you want more..
 
As always Volunteers are the key to successful events
If you would like to help out on the day please let us know. We would love to have you helping as a volunteer
We need aid station helpers and course sweepers, there is no greater gift on the trails then helping another runner achieve their goals.

We are a cup free event, we love that our runners are supportive concerned about the waste footprint and overall impact our events have on the environment. This means you need to bring your own cup or drinking bottle, or purchase one at registration/bib collection on the day. Our reusable silicone cups are $2.00-2.50 for printed version. No Cups, No Drink. We supply all the drink you need, you just need to supply the means to drink it :-)
