Full Run Forrest Half Marathon Trail Run 6km Route Breakdown
The race starts at the Barwon Water Reserve beside the Barwon River and follows the famed Red Carpet trail, winding through fern‑covered gullies and alongside Lake Elizabeth. Runners tackle tight, off‑cambered turns, fast downhill sections and rolling hills that total 750‑800 m of elevation gain on the 21 km course. The 10 km route mirrors the half‑marathon but turns back at the top of the Red Carpet, while the 6 km loop heads up to the West Barwon Dam before descending back to the village. Three water stations are positioned at 5.5 km, 8 km (Lake Elizabeth) and 16 km, with the 6 km runners carrying their own water.

Training Strategy for Run Forrest Half Marathon Trail Run 6km
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 3.73-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 Barwon Water Reserve, Hennigan Cres, Forrest 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.
3.73-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.
