HOW TO GET THERE
Download Freeway Map and Mylor Hostel Map
Take the South East Freeway exiting at Stirling. Follow the main road (Mt Barker Rd) through Stirling to Aldgate and then along Strathalbyn Rd onto Mylor. Just as you are coming into Mylor take Whitehead Rd to your left. The turn off is just over 8km from the Stirling Freeway exit. Follow Whitehead Rd for just over a kilometre and you will come to the Hostel car park.
OPTIONS
Download COURSE MAP and TRAIL NOTES or for more detailed Notes, download Notes A and Notes B.
7km option loops around Mylor through the gorgeous Mylor conservation Park along the Heysen trail and returning via the picturesque sealed roads of Mylor
12km option adds onto this a run through Engelbrook Conservation Park to Bridgewater.
20km option adds on part of the Pioneer Womens Trail through the stunning Arbury Park to Mt George.
26km option adds on extra easy loop of peaceful and picturesque dirt roads around Carey Gully.
The run is diverse encompassing a bit of everything from challenging single track, quiet dirt roads, Bitumen or no trail at all. The region is stunning though be prepared for a lot of up and down.
POST RUN COFFEE
Coffee and morning tea will be available after the run inside the Hostel right on the finish line.
I will provide tea, coffee (of the instant variety) and a selection of fruit and cakes for a donation towards costs.
OPTIONAL FRIDAY OVERNIGHT STAY
In addition to the run there is the option of an overnight stay at the Hostel on the Friday night. It is not mandatory to stay at the hostel in order to do the run. Though if you would like to enjoy a pasta dinner the night before you would be most welcome. Please arrive from 7:30 with dinner served at 8pm. Accommodation is a basic dormitory arrangement. Pillows and quilts are supplied though you would need to bring your own linen and extra blankets might be a good idea if the weather stays like this.
I will also provide a basic breakfast though any special requests will need to be provided by you.
I hope to keep the cost to a minimum, below $30.00. Obviously the more people who choose to stay on the Friday night the cheaper it will be.
In the event of a Total Fire Ban we will not be able to use the hostel.
Please ring/SMS me on 0439 460 254 or email Lynn Smythe if you haven’t already done so, to book a place in the hostel.
