REGIONAL ATTRACTIONS

For runners, there is a myriad of inspiring runs to enjoy, on road, track and trail. In fact, we reckon that Beechworth, and the greater region, offer some of the best trails for singletrack connoisseurs.

Here’s a few options to explore for other times! Or a warm up or warm down run!

Of course, when you’re done running, the beauty of it is that there’s so much more to explore – follow in the steps of the Ned Kelly Gang, check out the art houses, take in sensational culinary experiences, wineries, farm gate produce, micro-breweries, and of course plenty of the Indigo Region landscapes to take in.
