Where Melrose Running Festival 15km starts and finishes
Melrose Running Festival 15km starts at Melrose, Mt Remarkable National Park. 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 Melrose Running Festival 15km Route Breakdown
Set amidst the Southern Flinders Ranges, the Melrose Running Festival offers three trail distances that showcase the park’s diverse landscape. The 15 km ‘King of the Mount’ climbs to the summit of Mt. Remarkable and returns via a winding descent, perfect for those seeking a challenging yet manageable climb. The 30 km route weaves through open ridgelines, forested valleys and the iconic Hidden Gorge, delivering continuous elevation changes and panoramic views. The 50 km Ultra is a true test of endurance, featuring steep ascents, technical sections, and an epic 8 km downhill finish from the summit into the historic township of Melrose. A 2‑person relay option splits the ultra into two 25 km legs, allowing teams to share the adventure.

Training Strategy for Melrose Running Festival 15km
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 9.32-mile race. Combine a weekly long run with threshold work so you can hold pace over the full 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.
Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Melrose, Mt Remarkable National Park 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.
9.32-Mile 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.
