Event information

Registration for this event closes at Thu 01 May 2025 09:00.

In the lead-up to The West Macs Monster, we are putting on a training on trails social series to help people in their training for the 25k. Please join as well if you're wanting to up your trail ante or want to get out and be social. Please keep in mind that a good level of fitness is required. This is open to ASRWC members and Non-members.  These are social runs, so please run/hike for as long as you are comfortable, be that further or lesser. Just sing out so we don't worry about you!!

What do I bring? We have now progressed enough that you should be taking 3 litres of water, nutrition, and first aid and should now be thinking about carrying all of the mandatory gear to get used to the weight. If you are just joining for a social run, at least 500ml of water for every hour you plan to be out and a little more, just in case, is a great place to start, and a snake bite bandage.

We are getting to the pointy end of training... We're heading back up Euro, so you can see what comes after that sign :) On the 13th there are 2 options, 1 requires some logistics however. On the 19th, it's a lighter on week, you can do the Flynn's Grave Dash 10k, rest or just do your own 10k. You want to be rested for the last BIG BIG run of your training.. Which is the 27th, 2 options.. 21km or 26km?.. For this week, I'm working to organise an aid station at Wallaby Gap for us; I'll let you know!!
