Event Details

Welcome to Australia's freshest off road ultra running event, traversing the Myall Coast. The race is based in Hawks Nest taking runners along beaches, past lakes and through forests, tracking some of the most stunning coastal scenery in the Australia. This trail running experience will be unique as it combines coastal trails with forest tracks, sand dunes, beaches, and rocky headlands taking runners through remote wilderness areas. In the Lakes Trail Festival, runners can compete 100km, 70km, 5km or 30km, as a team or solo. There is also a 12km and 1km kids run for those wanting a quicker trail experience. Solo runners can go for a quick run or go all day in the ultimate 100km. Teams of up to four, can run the 100km course separated into four legs and finish together, while teams of two can run the 50km race. October is an excellent time of year to go for a run. Temperature-wise it will be cool at night but warm during the day – perfect running weather.
