The race will run the recently established Grampians Peaks Trail, a point to point 100 mile trail (158.3km with 7510m of ascent), which traverses the rugged mountain range of the world-renowned Grampians National Park. The trail is purpose built to encompass all the beauty that the Grampians, in Gariwerd country, has to offer.

The trail starts in the north at Mt Zero Picnic Area and heads south all the way to Dunkeld. Along the way runners will pass 12 campsites each with stunning huts built in the most secluded areas along the route. There will be 11 aid stations to assist the runners at road crossings, trails heads, Halls Gap and public campgrounds.

Much of the journey goes through remote wilderness areas, where the well-manicured trail is a welcomed source of safety. There is a real sense of connection to nature and place.
