Course Description

Kicking off the weekend is the Bright Twilight SkySprint: a fun route which conquers Bright's famous climb up Emily's Spur to Mystic. It will give runners a sense of achievement and an amazing view in the twilight hours. 

Start at 6 pm Friday arvo from the Trailhead at the Pavillion. Runners will only have 1.8km to warm up along the river before the climb up Emily's Spur (1.7km, 440m+) to the summit of Mystic. Runners can soak in the views of Bright and surrounding ridgelines. Look left to see the high slopes of Mount Buffalo is the distance. 

Now comes the descent. Runners will start down Elevation MTB trail and stay on it til Hazeldine Road. This trail can be steep and technical in sections, as can Corkscrew, which is the next trail you will tackle. Once down the steeper sections, you can enjoy the faster, flatter trails of Grevid's Way and down Up and At Em. From here link up to the river and follow it back to Pioneer Park where the finish line awaits!
