Five Peaks Training Run #1 – Athelstone to Norton Summit (20 km or 9 km)

Date: Sun, 17 November 2019

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.

Getting there

  • Click here for directions in google maps to Foxfield Oval.
  • Click here for directions in google maps to Norton Summit. We are relying on people to car pool so please head to Norton Summit and co-ordinate rides down to Athelstone from there. Please DO NOT park in the Scenic Hotel carpark, the church car park, or the community centre car park as these will all be in use on the Sunday morning. Instead, please park along Crescent Drive, entering at the community centre end and exiting at the other end to minimise congestion and the impact on other people in the area on Sunday morning.
