Roller Coaster Recce Run by DTR
The Dandenongs Trail Runners host a free recce run along the Rollercoaster Trail Run course, starting and finishing at Kalorama Memorial Reserve in Kalorama, Victoria. The run is offered as a self-supported practice and participants are asked to carry mandatory gear and treat the day like race conditions. On-course support provided on race day will not be available for the recce.
Distances offered include:
- 8 km Local Loop
- 12 km Mad Mouse Loop
- 23 km Original Loop
- ~17 km 23 km route without Dodds Track
Participants who join the 23 km option are invited to run in one of four pace groups: Wombats slow (about three and a half to four hours), Possums medium (about three to three and a half hours), Kangaroos fast (about two hours forty minutes to three hours), and Emus sub two hours thirty minutes.
The event listing directs participants to the Dandenong Trail Runners information page for details on toilets, water, on course support and aid stations, shoe recommendations, nutrition, poles, course maps, mandatory gear, abandoning the run, and ambulance cover. Dogs are not permitted in the Dandenong Ranges National Park. Attendance is free but the organisers request an RSVP. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
