Event information

The ASRWC presents The Lone Dingo 2024 Summer 5k Sunday Series.
What an excellent opportunity to get out on some of Alice Springs's trails. This is a great way to taste the trails, enjoy some company, get a PB or have a great time running or walking. This event is free for ASRWC volunteers :)
Sunday 1 - 1st December 6:30 am - Atetherre (Budgerigar)
Please arrive at least 15-30 minutes early for the race briefing and collect your bib if required!!
We thought we'd start this off with a west-side classic, Atetherre (Budgerigar). We'll be kicking it off at the Scout Hall Carpark off Larapinta Drive. We'll head up the water tank hell taking the trail to the right to hook up with the west side trail network and doing an Anti-Clockwise loop of Atetherre, and making the way back the same trail in.

Sunday 2 - 8th Dec 6:30 am - Inarlenge (Echidna)/Eastside Link
Please arrive at least 15-30 minutes early for the race briefing and collect your bib if required!!
On Sunday 2, we are heading to the far east of the trail network, to an Inarlenge/Eastside Link route.

Sunday 3 - 15th Dec 6:30 am - Arrwe Take 2
Please arrive at least 15-30 minutes early for the race briefing and collect your bib if required!!
To finish the series off, we had to add a twist! You will start off at The Big Gum , heading towards Trig Hill, just as you may have guessed.. Your heading up Trig Hill and down the other way. This trail that links back to Arrwe is an enjoyable technical trail, and again you may have the pleasure of seeing some Kangaroos or the trail's namesake.. An Arrwe :) You'll head right back on Arrwe. Follow the trail all the way around as the map shows and back across the sand to the Big Gum for a much-needed refreshment!
The race starts and finishes by the big river gum near the river bed as pictured below and indicated on the map. Let's hope this year, we don't have a torrent of rain to contend with and we get to do this route.
