Mt Misery Social Run

Date: Sun, 02 June 2019

We have given the Mt Misery courses a makeover for 2019!  The courses will not be marked for the social run, so make sure you download the files to your phone app for use on the day.

Start 8.00 a.m. from Croft Rd car park, opposite Anderson Hill Winery, and 2.3 kilometres west of the intersection of Croft Rd, Cold Store Rd and Fox Creek Rd.

Getting there

  • Option 1:
  • Option 2:
    • Follow the following directions:
      • From the South-Eastern Freeway, take the Woodside-Balhannah turnoff. In Woodside, take the signposted turnoff to the left, along Tiers Rd, to Lenswood. When you reach Lenswood, turn left then right immediately, into Cold Store Rd. Ignoring turnoffs to left and right along the way, follow this to the intersection with Croft Rd. Then turn left.
        From the bottom of the Freeway (where it joins Portrush and Cross Roads), it’s 38 km to the race start. Allow 40 minutes to get there.
      • From Athelstone shopping centre, Gorge Rd, follow Gorge Rd to Cudlee Creek. Continue after passing the hotel on the left. Immediately after The Cudlee Café on the left, fork right into the Lobethal road, and after a kilometre, turn right into Fox Creek Rd, then right again into Croft Rd.
        It’s 28 kilometres to the race start from the supermarket shopping centre (with the ugly tower) Athelstone. Allow 35 minutes.

Hill training with TRSA – SOLD OUT

Date: Sun, 10 March 2019

Learn to love hills! Join us for a session lead by La Sportiva athlete and creator of the infamous ‘Mick’s Loop’ – Mick Keyte, for a session in Cleland.

We’ll focus on some hills in the area including Chambers Gully, Winter Track and Pengana and pass on some tips and tricks for getting up (and down) the big hills. This will be a social session catering to all abilities so no need to worry, we’ll have plenty of talking and demonstrations in between opportunities to put it all into practice over this approx. 2 hour session. This will be great training for Five Peaks and any other trail running plans you have for 2019.

Meet at 6:45am for a  7.00 a.m. start from the bottom of Chambers Gully Trail on Waterfall Gully Rd.
