Beat the Bugs Trail Race
Beat the Bugs is a scenic 5km or 10km trail race at the Caledonia Nordic Ski Centre. PGRR’s June event utilizes both cross-country ski and single track trails to take runners all over the Otway trail system. The 5km route is relatively flat and is a good, introductory trail race for first-timers.
The race begins in the stadium area of the Nordic Centre at 8141 Otway Road. And the race name says it all – it’s June, there WILL BE BUGS!
