Yarra Road, Mt Observation
In the lead up to the OWA state long distance championships we have another long event for you - and it's also preparation for the Kambarang Carnival. Spring has finally arrived and some nice flowers are starting to show in the bush so it's a good opportunity to enjoy the forest at its best. This course offers a mix of open fast running forest and some more challenging hilly areas that we all know and love.
