This run is an absolute grind, but there is nothing too technical. Start at the farm gate and follow the 4WD/farm track all the way to the top. The first 3km are moderately undulating with decent ups and downs past paddocks and through some native bush. After a sharp down at 3km prepare yourself for 2km of solid uphill climbing (20% gradient).
After this it's still a steady climb to the top but much more chill. Likely to run through cloud, but on a good day your efforts are rewarded with incredible views at the top. Thats about 7km in. At the top you can either enjoy the view from the nearest peak or follow the 4WD track as it runs along the ridge to the right up to the true peak of Mount Studholme. After that its time to turn around and burn your legs back down the hill. Keep an eye out for people driving up the road hunting, but its not normally too busy.
This trail includes the peak Mount Studholme.
Incredible views both inland and out towards the coast.

Up, up, up on a 4WD track but I love that there are great views the whole way!!! You get to the top then you have to wonder along to the summit. So rewarding.

Great views. Easy to follow 4WD track to the top. Bit of a grunt to the top.
