Geelong

The Basics

Geelong is the largest regional centre in Victoria and is located approx 75 kms southwest of Melbourne on Port Phillip Bay. It is the gateway to the surfcoast and Great Ocean Road. Being home to many of Australia's best runners including Craig Mottram, Lee Troop & Mark Tucker, it clearly has much to offer the running community.
