Rockwell Run was realigned post the 2010 Storm Recovery Works. The trail has been increased in length from 600 metres to 1800 metres and now more closely follows the contours of the climb rather than the previous alignment which dropped more quickly which created erosion issues with the trail.
The trail is designed to be a XC climbing trail to access the other trails at the top of the hill but is equally enjoyable as a downhill route as well. The trail is well bermed allowing you to largely maintain speed through the switchbacks.
