Baw Baw mayor Debbie Brown said the shire featured many tracks for people of all ages or abilities.
“This event will be a great opportunity for the community to get together and enjoy some fresh air and physical activity,” Cr Brown said in a media release.
The Trail Trak app will provide users with the ability to chart their progress on those tracks and share photographs of the journey with their friends.
The free app was created by the Baw Baw Shire Council as part of its Being Healthy in Baw Baw program, in conjunction with the Federal Government’s Healthy Communities Initiative and VicHealth.
The Warragul Business Group will also be publicising “Grow Warragul” – an effort make the town greener and more attractive – at the event.
