About the Race
15km In the Raw Trail Run Course for 2023 THE START - 1.5km on the 'Raw Challenge' property; twists and turns, lumps and bumps - a little old school cross-country style running. Turn RIGHT out the 'back gate' and link through to Chester's Road. THE LOOP - turn RIGHT for a steady climb of 900m, through the gate and dive into the valley for a descent of 900m. Turn LEFT onto Waterfall Trail; nice flowy trail for 4km with seven creek crossings (it's likely at this time of year that your feet will get wet). Turn LEFT again and you'll climb up...and up.... and up. Push yourself if you dare but keep plenty in the tank - you’ve got some easier terrain ahead you can take advantage of! Surface is a bit rubbly and loose. A few plateaus do allow you to open up in sections. Reach the peak and it’s a sharp descent on a good surface back down to Chesters Road. Turn LEFT onto Chesters and head back towards Raw Challenge. When you get back to Raw Challenge, there’s more 2.5km of fun still in store, with some tricky single track, some little pinches but thankfully, a nice grassy downhill descent to the finish!
