About the race
The Powercor Lorne Mountain to Surf is an annual community run and fundraiser organised by the Lorne Surf Life Saving Club and its volunteers. The event for 2027 is scheduled for Friday 8 January, with entries opening on Monday 2 November 2026. The main course is an 8 km run or walk that starts in the Lorne township, travels uphill through the Otway forest ranges to the St George River track, follows the river back toward the Southern Ocean, and returns to Lorne past the Lorne Pier and cliff track to the Surf Life Saving Club. The 2027 course will be slightly altered because of flood damage on parts of the St George River track. The event offers an in-person race and a Virtual Mountain to Surf option; virtual entries count toward Mountain Goat tallies and include the event T shirt.
Mountain Goat medals recognise participants for every ten events they complete. Results from previous events are available through the club results service. The club provides training plans and medical guidelines for entrants, and maintains published information on race day procedures, maps, changes and refund policies, merchandise, and event rules. The Mountain to Surf also supports other club programs through funds raised by the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
