The Roller Coaster Run on Saturday, 18 April 2020 is a trail run at the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne, Victoria.
The 43km is two laps of the 21.5km course with the second loop the reverse of the first loop. The 10km was added in 2016 and the 5km and kids 2km in 2019 so there’s a distance for all the family!
Enjoy the challenges and views of a run in the Dandenongs and follow it up with brunch at SkyHIgh overlooking the course and Melbourne. Brunch is included for those who car pool and we all know running is better with friends!
There will be a second event in 2020 in late November, and then it will be held annually in November each year.
