Description
This is the full 20 mile course other than the 3k of MTB trails after Coronet Peak Ski Area. These trails are off limits and instead you will need to run around 3k of sealed road downhill from the ski area.
Most suitable for:
Intermediate level runners who are comfortable on technical terrain. The section from Big Hill Saddle over Brow Peak to Coronet Peak Ski Area is off-track (navigation tricky if the cloud is down) and there are a couple of steep drop-offs. Do not attempt if you are not confident with heights. A high level of fitness required.
Navigation:
Easy on the tracked sections. Reasonably straightforward along the Brow Peak ridge in clear visibility but tricky if the cloud is down.
Peaks to be bagged:
Brow Peak 1456m
Trail Conditions:
Lots of easy to moderate single track and a smattering of sealed road, but the sting in the tail is the long section of rough, sketchy trail over the Brow Peak ridge.
