About this event

The Puffing Billy Great Train Race course follows 13.5km through the picturesque hills of the Dandenong Ranges.

Beginning just metres from the train station at Belgrave, runners test their fitness against the steam train as they race towards Emerald Lake Park.

The railway line crosses the run course at several points, adding a unique and exciting element to this run.

The Great Train Race is organised by Puffing Billy Railway volunteers and all proceeds go towards the restoration of an NGG16 129 Garratt locomotive.
