Full Peaks & Trails Run AGL 50km Trail Run Route Breakdown
The race kicks off and finishes at the historic Royal Mail Hotel in the heart of Dunkeld, providing a convenient hub for participants. All six distances weave through the newly opened Grampians Peaks Trail, showcasing the four southern peaks – Wurgarri (Mt Sturgeon), Bainggug (Piccaninny), Mud‑Dadjug (Mt Abrupt) and Signal Peak. Courses vary from the gentle 6.4km out‑and‑back on gravel, grass and river flats to the demanding 50km ultra that climbs 2,057 m across private land and rugged single‑track. Expect a mix of river flats, open woodland, technical rocky sections, 4WD tracks, sand and tree roots. The routes are GPS‑measured and clearly marked, with mandatory gear required for the longer events. Mud‑Dadjug Challenge starts at 12 pm on Saturday, while other races run on Sunday.

Training Strategy for Peaks & Trails Run AGL 50km Trail Run
20-24 weeks is the realistic window for a first 31.07-mile ultra, assuming you already have a marathon's worth of base behind you. The block that matters is back-to-back long weekends — a long run on Saturday followed by a second, slower one on Sunday — which builds time on feet and teaches you to run on tired legs without the recovery cost of one enormous day. Practise your race-day nutrition on every one of them; at this distance the stomach fails before the legs do.
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.
Drop volume hard across the final three to four weeks — further out and steeper than a marathon taper, because a 30-mile training day costs weeks of recovery, not days. Keep some easy running and a little terrain-specific work in, but the goal is to reach the start line with fresh feet and a rested gut rather than one more long run in the bank.
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.
31.07-Mile Ultra Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A deliberate increase in carbohydrate over the two to three days before the race is the well-established approach at marathon distance.
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.
Most runners take on carbohydrate every 30 to 45 minutes from about an hour in, alongside fluid at the on-course stations.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
