About this event
The Southern Rail Trail Run is a South Gippsland trail running event based around the Great Southern Rail Trail in Victoria, with distances that include a 10km run starting and finishing in Leongatha and a 100km ultra that travels from Port Welshpool to Leongatha. It is set in a scenic rural setting, following a former railway corridor through coastal country and historic towns.
The event is designed for runners who enjoy a mix of open rail trail, gentle gradients and long, uninterrupted stretches of country scenery. The 10km option offers an accessible out-and-back course from Leongatha, while the longer ultra showcases more of the trail network and finishes in the event hub at Leongatha.
Participants can expect a well-marked trail running experience on smooth rail trail surfaces, with race-day support and hydration points along the course. The event suits both competitive runners chasing a fast time and recreational entrants looking for a memorable day out on one of Victoria’s best-known rail trails.
