    The 42.2km course for the O'Keefe Challenge Marathon event.
    This amazing marathon course starts on the outskirts of Bendigo at Bendigo Baptist Church in Junortoun.

    The course follows the historic O’Keefe Rail Trail, which is a generally firm running surface topped with gravel. The course has a gradual rise from start to finish, and is mainly flat with some small undulations.

    Marathon runners will experience (or enjoy?) the greatest change in elevation during their events as the trail cuts through Axedale, down across the Campaspe River and back up to follow the McIvor Highway.

    As the trail approaches Heathcote, runners will enjoy a sealed walking track and a fast road section before their final dash across the grass into the finishing chute on Barrack Reserve oval.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
