XTERRA Anglesea

Known for its friendly swimming, and world class surf beaches, its kangaroos, the relaxed way of life and its connection to the natural landscape around it – Anglesea is the perfect place for any outdoor experience.

The Great Otway National Park basically surrounds the township – almost penetrating into the leafy streets at times, and in conjunction with the Anglesea Heath is a terrific natural backdrop to the township and the trail running races around it.
