Where Kilcunda Trail Running Festival 10K starts and finishes
Kilcunda Trail Running Festival 10K starts at Nature reserve opposite the Kilcunda Ocean View Hotel, 3531-3533 Bass Hwy, Kilcunda VIC 3995. 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 Kilcunda Trail Running Festival 10K Route Breakdown
All races start and finish at the foreshore car park beside the Kilcunda caravan park, using the nature reserve opposite the Ocean View Hotel as the launch point. The out‑and‑back courses weave along well‑groomed grassy trails, descend onto sandy beaches, and climb the rolling hills that crown the cliffs overlooking the Southern Ocean. Runners will also enjoy sections of rail‑trail and single‑track forest paths, offering varied terrain and scenic coastal views. The 21 km Half Marathon adds extra elevation for a moderate challenge, while the 5 km and 10 km routes provide a more relaxed, family‑friendly experience. Expect well‑marked routes and support stations along the way.

Training Strategy for Kilcunda Trail Running Festival 10K
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 10K, whether it's your first or you're chasing a PB. Consistency and a weekly speed or threshold session matter more here than sheer mileage.
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.
Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Nature reserve opposite the Kilcunda Ocean View Hotel, 3531-3533 Bass Hwy, Kilcunda VIC 3995 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.
10K 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.
No on-course fuel is needed at this distance for most runners — water stations are the usual provision.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
