Last Sunday the 1st of May was the 30th annual great train race. This race is a very iconic for the Dandenong Ranges area, it is a 13.2 km race from Belgrave to Emerald Lake park. The aim of the game is to race the icon of the hills "Puffing Billy" and try and beat it. On the day 2,784 runners took part in the event, with 55 males beating the first train and 280 females beating the second train.
This is all good for the economy for the area but because i live next to the Emerald Lake park traffic was hectic as! Every year it is a problem that the race organisers try and fix however in future years the traffic issues need to be taken care of properly!
