Organiser's description

Join us Labor Day weekend for the Calarat Challenge Trail Running Festival. We start the festivities off on Saturday night with a 5K that you can run, walk or hike, and our KIDS 1K. Then on Sunday morning, we have the 1/2 MARATHON and 10K. All trail races start and finish at the Cal-Wood Education Center, and are run on a number of different trails throughout the beautiful private properties of Cal-Wood and Balarat Outdoor Education Center.

Cal-Wood Education Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing unique outdoor education experiences that inspire a greater appreciation for the natural world. They aim to offer enriching environmental education programs that foster a sense of wonder, responsibility, and stewardship in students of all ages, with a particular focus on including underrepresented and low-income communities.

Since their inception, Cal-Wood has been a beacon of hands-on learning and environmental advocacy. They proudly offer programs that immerse participants in the wonders of nature, from their summer camps to their year-round educational field trips, family camps, and workshops. Their dedicated team of educators work tirelessly to cultivate a deep connection between our visitors and the environment.

We have lodging or camping on Saturday night, as well as a great pasta dinner prepared. After the race, celebrate your accomplishment with your family, friends, and fellow participants at our after race party. We will have food, beer, and music, so come on up and enjoy everything Cal-wood has to offer.
