Route Details

A week following a successful Town Belt jog topped off with ice cream at Patti’s and Cream this could be a hard sell! Meet at the Silverstream car park (see location) and we’ll head off up Racemans Track before crossing over the stream and taking the shorter link track (past the Powder Ridge junction) back to Racemans (with yet another stream crossing). We’ll then tackle the Little Coal Creek climb before descending Steve Amies and McRaes tracks down to Tunnel Track. A short excursion down Tunnel Track precedes a rapid descent back to Racemans. It is a short distance then back to the car park. The climb up Little Coal Creek is steep and relentless. A good level of fitness and familiarity with trail running is recommended for this outing. An estimated distance of approx. 11 km and some 600 metres of total ascent are the vital stats! See you there.
