About the Race
It's the calf-eating, glute-munching wall called 'High Lead' just after 12km that you gotta watch... The tourism bods call the trail the "Walk Into History" due to its heritage as an old lumberjack's route the linked Warburton and the mountainous logging forests between Big Pats Creek and Powelltown to the south. But bugger walking... we'll call it the "Run Into History" instead! Actually, we'll call it the Lumberjack Run in honour of wild tales of wild logger men who used to fell giants – some of the biggest trees in the world at the time – and then literally run out of the bush back into Warburton so they could play football (on the oval that will be our event HQ), get drunk that night, and then plow back up the track into forest after church on Sunday (hard drinkin', hard playin', hard prayin' men these were! They had sins to make up for...), ready for another week of saw milling.
