About

The Grampians Peaks Trail 100 Miler Trail Race is the answer to your search for the most epic, spectacular trail race destination. The Grampians Peaks Trail (GPT), the newest world class trail situated in Gariwerd, the Grampians National Park, is a 164 kilometre trail with 7,702 metres of elevation from Mt Zero in the north to Dunkeld in the south. The GPT passes through the rugged, stunning and varied terrain that the Grampians is famous for. The race is broken up into four chunks, each with major aid stations. Much of your journey will be through remote wilderness areas, where the well-manicured GPT trail is a welcomed source of safety. There is a real sense of connection to nature and place. The central township of Halls Gap, just three hours (260 kilometre) drive north west of Melbourne, will play host to the event basecamp and headquarters. The GPT 100 Miler caters to every trail runner with a quest to accomplish, achieve and experience the best that Australian wilderness has to offer. Competing against each other - though mostly against yourself - runners will have the opportunity to race the full length, 164 kilometres from north to south, continuously or over a four-day stage race format. Team relay options exist for both the continuous or stage race formats.
