Duval Dam Buster Trail Run 2023

Starting from the Dumaresq Dam Recreation Area, runners will head along the western side of the dam and follow the fire trail around to the north-western point (Marshal Point 1), where it will veer left onto a track towards Mt Duval. The course follows single tracks and fire trails. Once past the “Newholme” farm gate (Marshal Point 2), runners will turn left to start the climb up Mt Duval. At approximately 4km, there is a trail junction where runners will take the right trail and follow a loop around the top of Mt Duval. About half-way around the loop, there will be a diversion to the right onto the Duval Nature Reserve Summit Trail for an out/back section. Returning down the Summit Trail, runners will turn right onto the Tower Trail, past the radio tower and then turn right to rejoin the Duval Trail. At the 8.5km junction, runners will find Marshal Point 3 where they turn left and head back down the Duval Trail to complete the loop. Runners turn right at Marshal Point 2 and head back down to Dumaresq Dam, and follow the walking track to the finish line. The course starts at 1080m above sea level at Dumaresq Dam and steadily climbs to around 1400m in the first 6km.
