More than 600 eager runners will descend on the Surf Coast this Saturday, June 18, lured seaside by clifftop turf trails and big surf views, a combination that has established the Brooks Surf Coast Trail Marathon as the most infamous winter trail marathon on the Australia running calendar.<\/p>\n

In its nine-year history, the event has experienced at least four big swell tides that have lapped at competitors\u2019 feet at points where the Surf Coast Walk route skirts the seaboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also fair to say that a couple of years, the conditions got a little wild and woolly out there, and people got their feet wet,\u201d race director and Anglesea resident Chris Ord said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s the beauty and challenge of this particular coastal run \u2013 while it takes in the safety, serenity and latte stops of villages such as Torquay, Anglesea and Aireys Inlet, it also features remote, pristine and rather wild stretches of beach and hinterland trails.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why our tag line is \u2018Run With The Wild Things\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The course throws a mixed bag of trail environments at runners across both distances as they run the length of the Surf Coast Walk.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Brooks Surf Coast Trail Marathon features a full marathon (42km) starting at the Salty Dog Cafe in Torquay and finishing at the Fairhaven Surf Lifesaving Club.<\/p>\n

It can be completed solo or in teams of two tackling half the distance each.<\/p>\n

The half marathon (21km) category starts at Point Addis, and finishing at Fairhaven.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course throws a mixed bag of trail environments at runners across both distances as they run the length of the Surf Coast Walk,\u201d Chris said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s some excellent single track, especially through Ironbark Forest and down to Point Addis and on the clifftops between Urquharts Beach and Split Point Lighthouse in Aireys.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s some mellow esplanade sections through the townships of Torquay, Anglesea and Aireys.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd yes, there\u2019s the odd stretch of beach, but that includes the famous Bells Beach, which we regard as a hallowed ground \u2013 or sand \u2013 to run across. That\u2019s also the point where you will get a sense of what\u2019s ahead \u2013 look to how many surfers are out and the size of the waves and you\u2019ll know if you are going to get wet feet or not later down the trail come the Urquhart\u2019s Beach section!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Entries will remain open online until event day. The event also heralds an after-party featuring a live eighties cover band strutting their stuff at the Aireys Pub from 7pm, with everyone welcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real question is: will runners leave enough in their legs to still get their groove on in the evening?\u201d Chris said.<\/p>\n
