Cook's Tour

The Glasshouse 50 or Cook’s Tour – based at Woodford is held on the Sunday closest to 17th May Captain Cook named the mountains on 17th May during his voyage up the east coast of Australia in 1770. This year sees the return of the GH50 mile. With its return is the addition of a new section of forest we haven’t used previously. Runners in the 50 mile will have the opportunity to traverse the Peachester State Forest which will be included in the GH100 later in the year. The forest is an area NW of Mt Beerwah which has some great hardwood stands and native palm pockets dotted throughout. Terrain is open in some sections with new pine growth regeneration occurring but the route regularly ducks for cover to make this an interesting day / night out with spectacular views of all the mountains at daybreak.
