About this event
Join the **Yarrabilba Trail Fest** on **Sunday, 16 August 2026**, a unique adventure exploring hidden trails on the doorsteps of Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Mt Tamborine.
Based in the growing community of Yarrabilba and just 15 minutes from the M1 motorway, this exciting event features three distinct trail runs across **Plunkett Regional Park**, **Wickham National Park**, and **Wickham Timber Reserve**. Participants will discover breathtaking views from rugged sandstone outcrops, explore open eucalypt forests, and witness spectacular wildflower displays prevalent in late winter.
Choose your challenge: the **Short Course (5.1 km)** offers a fun, hilly introduction perfect for beginners; the **Medium Course (11.4 km)** provides a balanced mix of terrain including the famous "on-edge ascent"; and the **Long Course (18.2 km)** delivers the ultimate experience with flatter fast sections and steep, gnarlier climbs over unique sandstone slab terrain.
Race day highlights include professionally timed races, professional photography, a post-race coffee and BBQ, an award ceremony, random prize draws, and **finisher medals** for all participants.
Whether you are a seasoned trail runner or new to off-road running, the Yarrabilba Trail Fest invites you to explore previously secret trails and enjoy a truly authentic Australian bush adventure.
