Grab your sneakers and stretch out those legs because the annual is right around the corner—happening in the delightful Halls Gap, right in the middle of the Grampians (that's Gariwerd for the adventurous types). Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or just someone who likes to say they ran, you've got options. You can saunter through a picturesque 6km along Fyans Creek, tackle a little more with a 12km jaunt that even includes an impressive view on the wall at Lake Bellfield, or really put your legs to the test with a 21km trail run that sounds like a recipe for sore muscles the next day.

All of this fun is put together by local volunteers who are basically the heroes of Halls Gap—they're making sure the event not only helps you work off that last piece of cake but also gives back to the community and the tourists who flock here. The proceeds go towards sprucing up bike and walking paths so tread lightly as you jog; you might just be paving the way to future adventures. Plus, a buck from each registration goes to help maintain the walking tracks in Grampians National Park—like a little donation for every footstep you take. Last year, our generous runners helped raise $20,000 for the Pomonal Community Fire Recovery Resource Group. So lace up and come join the fun in May; your legs will thank you, and so will the locals.
