- 2.5 km optional social run after the mile
The course follows mostly flat natural woodland trails and tracks through the reserve. Facilities at the site include a café, a visitor centre, toilets and parking. The trails are described as suitable for runners and walkers and provide opportunities to observe local wildlife.
