THE Surf Coast is once again set to glow, glitter and glam it up with the Black Diamond Afterglow Night Trail Run taking place on November 24.<\/p>\n
The event, from Anglesea-based tour and events company Tour de Trails, is expected to attract up to 700 runners attired in their disco best.<\/p>\n
The run along a course from Point Addis back to a lit-up finish line at the Salty Dog Caf\u00e9 in Torquay\u00a0 has added a new 5km \u2018mini-glow\u2019 run to its traditional 21km and 13km line-up, with event organisers hoping to attract a \u201cNew Wave\u201d of trail runners.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s probably the least serious trail run event on the calendar, but we reckon the most fun,\u201d coorganiser Peri Payne said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe predict more bad-taste tight-and-bright leotards to be worn than ever before \u2013 and that\u2019s just the blokes!<\/p>\n
\u201cWe get all sorts of costumes, from rainbow tutus, to clown and unicorn motifs, glow in the dark UV and even runners sporting a full set of LED lights.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said running trails at night was a very different experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven for those who have experienced the Surf Coast Walk recreationally, or via running in other events on the trail such as our sister outing, the Surf Coast Trail Marathon, it\u2019s a whole new vibe running it under a blanket of stars.\u201d<\/p>\n
On-course entertainment includes fire twirlers, a lit-up digeridoo player, a saxophonist, an acoustic guitarist and a DJ belting out \u201880s hits at the finish line.<\/p>\n
