Collie Cemetry to Coalfields Highway Pipeline
Flat, fast and partially sealed!
This eases you into the Epic day and for the Solo runners the biggest challenge will be not going out too fast! For the teams, get your speedy road running mate to set your team up for the win!
This is the section for the road runners or the non-runners! It’s the least remote beside Coalfields highway on non technical paths and footpaths.
The last part of the course winding single track and then wide fire trail and an exhilerating climb into the checkpoint.

“Get Tanked” Coalfields Highway Pipeline to Dam Wall
Setting off on fire-trail, this section is undulating bliss! You can look ahead and see the journey unfolding!
You’ll pass one of the most epic tanks I’ve ever seen, and it’s personally my favorite leg to run because it has everything! You’ll get sexy single track and technical trail with the ups and downs.
Leg 2 finishes in Wellington NP at the Kiosk and Dam Wall where you can grab a craft beer, coffee, cake and a selfie with your teammates at the transition.
