Where Black Snake Trail Race Half Marathon starts and finishes
Black Snake Trail Race Half Marathon starts at 255 Clohesy River Rd, Koah QLD 4881, Australia. 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 Black Snake Trail Race Half Marathon Route Breakdown
The race starts at the junction of Clohesy River Road and Cedar Park Road and follows an out‑and‑back dirt track along the Clohesy River. The 5km route is a gentle loop suitable for beginners, while the 12km adds a second creek crossing and a visit to the towering Clohesy River Fig Tree. The 21km distance extends the course with additional forest trails and steeper sections, offering a moderate challenge. Expect well‑marked paths, soft riverbeds, and plenty of tropical foliage, with aid stations at the start/finish and midway on the longer courses.

Training Strategy for Black Snake Trail Race Half Marathon
10-14 weeks is a solid window for a first half marathon; 8-10 weeks is enough if you're already maintaining a baseline mileage. Build your long run up gradually rather than jumping straight to race distance.
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.
Reduce overall mileage across the final 7-10 days while preserving short race-pace bursts. Arrive at 255 Clohesy River Rd, Koah QLD 4881, Australia fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
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.
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.
Half Marathon Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.
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.
Fluid at the on-course stations is usually enough; some runners take a single gel around the hour mark.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
