About this event
Heroes & Villains Trail Run is a Saturday afternoon and evening trail-running event in the You Yangs at Little River. Runners complete a scenic 5km loop through the Western Plantation, with a range of distances to suit beginners, families and experienced ultra-distance competitors.
Choose from 2km, 5km, 10km, 21km, 42km, 50km or a six-hour challenge. All events use the same loop course, allowing participants to set their own goal, whether that means completing a single lap or returning for multiple laps.
The shorter events are scheduled to finish before sunset, while the longer distances continue into the evening and require a headtorch. The event is designed as a welcoming introduction to night running, with a supported course and a fun atmosphere among the gum trees and local single trails.
Costumes are encouraged, so come dressed as a favourite hero or a most-feared villain. Participants can enter as individuals or enjoy the event as a family-friendly trail-running experience.
The 2026 event takes place on Saturday, 28 November at You Yangs Regional Park. Check-in and race starts are staggered throughout the afternoon and evening, with the earliest listed start at 3.00pm and the latest at 7.00pm. On-the-day entries may be available, subject to event capacity and an additional administration fee.
