General Information
The Maroondah Dam Trail Runs were first held in 1995, during this time there have been several race directors and 2010 will see another change as Brett Saxon takes over the reins from Rob Boyce. After the 2009 event was cancelled following the Black Saturday fires we are excited to have the all clear from Parks Victoria and put this event on this year. Although parts of the course were burnt there is much new life sprouting from the ground and blackened trees. Although the trails were cleared by the fires the new growth has covered parts of the trail and several fallen trees have added to the challenge. No race records will be created this year.
