Peaks & Trails is a picturesque trail run starting and finishing in the heart of Dunkeld, Victoria over the weekend of 8 to 9 August 2026.

There are 5 distances to choose from, with all courses including sections of the Grampians Peaks Trail and take in the beautiful southern Gariwerd (Grampians) landscape.

The longer run options also include trails on privately owned land, normally inaccessible to the public. Runners will experience a range of landscapes and stunning views on these trails surrounded by the four most southern peaks: Wurgarri (Mt Sturgeon), Bainggug (Piccaninny), Mud-Dadjug (Mt Abrupt) and Signal Peak.

Mud-Dadjug Challenge (previously the Mt Abrupt Challenge) runners will take on the rugged terrain of Mt Abrupt (827m). Starting at the Mud-Dadjug carpark, runners will climb 3.1km, with a total elevation gain of 430m to the summit before retracing their steps back to the carpark.
