The 25KM course gives runners a proper taste of what makes Wonderfalls so special.
Set in the spectacular forests of the Great Otway National Park behind Lorne, this route takes you through towering trees, fern-filled gullies, flowing trails, river crossings and waterfall country.
It is challenging, scenic and full of variety, with the kind of terrain that keeps every kilometre interesting.
If you are looking for a real trail running adventure without stepping up to the marathon or ultra distances, the 25KM is a brilliant way to experience the wild beauty of the Otways on foot.
Shorter distances are also available, making Wonderfalls a great event for first-time trail runners, walkers and anyone wanting to explore the Otways at their own pace.

Hereβs the WONDERFALLS 75KM route! π¦β°οΈ
The 75KM course is the full Wonderfalls adventure.
Starting from the coastal township of Lorne on Victoriaβs Great Ocean Road, this route takes runners deep into the forests of the Great Otway National Park, through river crossings, cool rainforest, fern-filled gullies, technical singletrack, steep climbs and waterfall-filled terrain.
This is a course shaped by water, distance and wild Otway landscape. Expect long stretches of forest, rewarding descents, remote valleys and the chance to experience parts of the region many visitors never reach.
For experienced runners looking for a big day out, the 75KM delivers a challenging and memorable ultra through one of Victoriaβs most beautiful trail running destinations.
