ABOUT THE EVENT

GREAT VOLCANIC MOUNTAIN CHALLENGE
The Great Volcanic Challenge is an iconic mountain trail run, a distance of 11 km over three peaks through beautiful forest at Gaanha Bula-Mount Canobolas near Orange in the central west of NSW.

The race starts at the Towac Pinnacle Picnic Ground on Pinnacle Road, Orange and takes in spectacular views from the volcanic range, passing through changing vegetation on little used forest roads and bush tracks.

The second half of the course takes in Mt Towac (1350m), some beautiful forest area then Young Man Canobolas (1330m) via bush tracks before ascending to the summit of Gaanha Bula-Mount Canobolas, at 1397m, a climb of 520m and the finish point.

It is a challenging run/walk, hence the name but very satisfying. We hope you take up the challenge and join us on race day. 

FAMILY TRAIL RUN
The Family Trail Run, a shorter out and back 5.5 km course, will appeal to younger participants and those wanting a less challenging race.

The Family Trail Run starts and finishes at Towac Pinnacle Picnic Ground on Pinnacle Road, Orange.
