# Event Details - **Event Name**: 2026 Surf Coast Century LEG 1 training run - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 10:00 pm (+10:00) - **Event Description**: Join us for an informal training run along the Surf Coast Century Leg 1 – Anglesea to Torquay 24.5km for a chance to see the course, meet some other runners training for the event and go for a run together. This leg 1 training run will be hosted by our friends at the Surf Coast Trail Runners – and will be conducted as a friendly group run with everyone running at their own pace but safe in the knowledge that there are other runners gathering to do the same thing at the same time. The run is free to attend and will be hosted by some experienced locals who have done the event before and know the trails ultra well. WHEN: set off at 8:00am on Sunday 3rd May WHERE: meet at the Anglesea Rivermouth playground on the Great Ocean Road (the start of leg 1). We will finish running at the Torquay Surf Life Saving Club on Surf Beach Dr in Torquay. WHAT: we will run the exact route for the Surf Coast Century Leg 1, 24.5km from Anglesea to Torquay. TRANSPORTATION arrangements: Runners must organise your own transportation back to your car... We suggest dropping a car at the finish at 7:30am and car pool with others to go to the start. Use this Facebook event page to arrange a few rides as there are always cars going from the finish to start . HOW: The course will be unmarked so runners need to be able to navigate the course themselves (or follow the leaders on the day). So you know where to go we recommend that runners have the map on your phones or on your watches – our recomendation is putting the Avenza mapping app on your phone. Simply download and set up the 100km route here: https://link.avenza.com/Zs8PO The GPX file and other mapping options are explained on the website here: https://surfcoastcentury.rapidascent.com.au/event-details/the-race/course-descriptions/ EQUIPMENT: All runners must be self sufficient with the clothing, hydration and nutrition you need to complete the run independent of assistance.
