The longest event follows the Lavender Federation Trail and covers terrain through Kinchina Conservation Park before finishing at Murray Bridge. Aid stations are positioned along the course at Monarto Safari Park, Monarto Sporting Complex, Lavender Trail locations, Kinchina West and Kinchina East. Supplies listed at aid stations include Inifnit hydration mix, water, lollies, fruit, salty chips and some locations offer coke and toilets. Several aid stations also provide bag drop and crew access.
A relay option is available for four-person teams. Three runners start the initial Monarto Safari Park section and hand over timing tags at designated changeover points. Relay sections include an initial 12 km leg, an optional 14 km woodlands loop, and subsequent legs of about 8 km, 12 km and 10 km to the finish.
