50 MILE*

*actually this is about right

The 50 Miler is a North-to-South blast beginning at the legendary Heysen Trail Head in Parachilna Gorge. You’ll be crossing paths with all of the other course distances through the Aroona, Trezona, Yanyanna, and Wilcolo Aid Stations before arriving at Ikara and starting the Tanderra Saddle loop. The sun is your ultimate opponent, and it’s worth racing it to catch a magical sunset on the Tanderra Saddle summit.
