The run
A 2.3 km loop round Ross Creek Reservoir, a Victorian-era reservoir tucked into native bush a few minutes from central Dunedin. From Burma Road the track circles the water past the old valve tower, with short climbs, steps and roots. Add laps, or join the Leith and the other Ross Creek tracks for a longer run.
Good to know
There is a small car park on Burma Road. Dogs must be on a lead, and the reserve tracks are closed to bikes. There are no toilets at the start. Some sections close from time to time for restoration, and the creek crossing can mean wet feet after rain.
