Where Afterglow Twilight Trail Half Marathon 13km Semi Glow starts and finishes

Afterglow Twilight Trail Half Marathon 13km Semi Glow starts at Fisherman’s Beach, Torquay, VIC. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.

These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.

Full Afterglow Twilight Trail Half Marathon 13km Semi Glow Route Breakdown

The Afterglow Twilight Trail Half Marathon follows the Surf Coast Walk, starting at Point Addis and finishing at Fisherman’s Beach in Torquay. The 21km course is non-technical, well sign-posted, and offers a mix of trail and beach terrain. The 13km and 5km options also take runners through scenic coastal paths with glow markers lighting the way. The event starts in twilight and finishes in the dark, so all runners must have a head torch. The course is suitable for both trail and road runners.

Training Strategy for Afterglow Twilight Trail Half Marathon 13km Semi Glow

Standard Training Window

6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 8.08-mile race. Combine a weekly long run with threshold work so you can hold pace over the full distance.

Terrain Specificity

This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.

The Taper Phase

Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Fisherman’s Beach, Torquay, VIC fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.

Pacing Execution

Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.

Fuel & Hydration Prep

Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.

8.08-Mile Nutrition & Fueling Plan

2-3 Days Prior

A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.

Race Morning

Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.

On-Course Fueling

No on-course fuel is needed at this distance for most runners — water stations are the usual provision.

Post-Race Recovery

A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
