Organiser: TrailsPlus
The Woodlands Trail Run takes place on Sunday, 24 May 2026, within the beautiful Woodlands Historic Park in Greenvale, Victoria. This unique event is set on the grounds of Living Legends, a sanctuary dedicated to retired champion racehorses.
Participants can enjoy running scenic trails that wind through peaceful woodlands beneath the international flight path, offering occasional glimpses of planes landing at nearby Melbourne Airport. The courses pass alongside the beloved retired racehorses, providing a distinctive and inspiring backdrop for all runners.
The event caters to all levels with six distance options: 2km, 5km, 10km, 21km (half marathon), 42km (marathon), and a challenging 50km ultramarathon. Trail maps and GPS files are available for download to help participants prepare.
Runners and walkers alike can experience the natural beauty and rich history of the 700-hectare park, including its indigenous heritage and diverse wildlife such as kangaroos and native birds. The historic homestead at the start/finish area offers hearty food and refreshments, creating a welcoming atmosphere for athletes and supporters.
The Woodlands Trail Run supports Canteen, a charity for young people affected by cancer, with donations made per participant. Bib collection and event guides are provided on race day, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all.
