The first of four official training runs for Five Peaks.
This training run is the first section of the 58 km course – approximately 20km from Athelstone to Norton Summit.
There is also an informal 9 km option, returning to Foxfield Oval along Montacute Road. The Montacute Road section will not be marked.
- 20km runners – meet at Norton Summit at 6:15 a.m in order to car pool to Athelstone for a 7:00 a.m start.
- 9 km runners – meet at Athelstone for a 7:00 a.m. start.
The courses won’t be marked for this social run so you’ll need to download the Guru (ex Galileo) app and the gpx files so you can navigate your way around the courses.
Your volunteer leader for this run is Claire.
Mal and Merry, our wonderful volunteers who provided the amazing spread at last year’s training runs, will be waiting for you at Norton Summit in front of the community centre with a delicious array of food again.
Getting there

- Click here for directions in google maps to the Norton Summit 20km finish area. Please do not park in the Scenic hotel as this is reserved for paying customers. We are relying on people to car pool so please head to Norton Summit and co-ordinate rides down to Athelstone from there. Please see the map below for instructions on parking at Norton Summit to minimise congestion and the impact on other people in the area on Sunday morning.
