Riverwood Downs Trail Run

Riverwood Downs is a magnificent, multi award winning 750 acre property on the banks of a mountain river in the foothills of Barrington Tops “World Heritage Wilderness”. It is located in a beautiful rural area known as the Monkerai Valley between the towns of Stroud and Gloucester.

Enjoy the 750 acres and 5km of mountain river frontage. Explore the property’s shady walking trails, tall mountains and cool fresh mountain pools. Experience this peaceful setting, with fresh air, bright stars, abundant wildlife, crackling log fires, friendly staff and relaxed country hospitality.

You will need a bladder for water or water bottles, a waterproof jacket if the weather looks a bit iffy and a thermal is highly recommended. We won’t be checking packs, this event is relying on general common sense for participants and their dogs. There are plenty of River frontage and dams for the dogs to drink from and cool off in. Fingers crossed for good weather!

IS THERE A DRINK STATION ON COURSE?
This is a no cup event so you must bring your own drink bottle, hydration pack. Tailwind is available at the drink stations depending on which event you have entered they are located at approximately 5km, 9km, 15km. As the course loops around you will pass these locations again for the 30km, the first station stretches out to 6.5 on the 55km course.

Please bring your own nutrition if required.

ELEVATION
We want this to be a fun event and tried to make the course a challenge without being overly rediculous on the elevation. So depending on the brand of watch and the setting you have it on you can get approximately 460m gain for the 15km, 1000m gain for the 30km and 1500m for the 55km
