Pinnacles Classic
The race where the hills feel like mountains!
Many years ago the legendary Peter Holles from the Brookfield Runners initiated this off-road race along the tough course around the Gold Creek Reservoir. The course is 18km long and leads you over 18 serious hills.
Starting life as a small scale friendly race, with a sausage and a beer at the end to refuel the legs, this run has grown into a popular hit-out to test the fitness of locals and the not so locals.
- Finishers medals for everyone who completes the course
- No wave starts: Everyone starts at 7:00 amRace Day Information
