Roller Coaster Recce Run by DTR
The Dandenongs Trail Runners are hosting a free recce run along the Rollercoaster Run course at Kalorama Memorial Reserve, Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, Kalorama VIC, Australia on Sunday 27 September 2026. The recce is a self-supported practice run intended to be used like race day; participants should carry all mandatory gear because the on-course support available on race day will not be provided for the recce.
The event offers several loop options:
- 8 km Local Loop
- 12 km Loop (Mad Mouse)
- 23 km Loop (Original)
- Approx 17 km (23 km without Dodds Track)
For the 23 km loop, participants signing up may join one of four pace groups named and described by target finish times:
- Wombats (Slow) 3:30 to 4 hrs
- Possums (Medium) 3:00 to 3:30 hrs
- Kangaroos (Fast) 2:40 to 3 hrs
- Emus (Super Fast) sub 2:30
The event includes a meet and briefing at Kalorama Memorial Reserve and concludes back at the same location. The organiser provides additional practical information on toilets, water, on-course support, shoe recommendations, nutrition, poles, course maps, mandatory gear, abandoning the run, and ambulance cover on their information pages. Dogs are not allowed into the Dandenong Ranges National Park. Attendance is free but participants are asked to RSVP. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
