Hidden Vale Trail Running Festival

Unique trails, beautiful views, good vibes.

Trail running at its best in Hidden Vale

Located at Hidden Vale Adventure Park, about an hour west of Brisbane, the Hidden Vale Trail Running Festival offers runners the chance to explore one of Australia's largest privately managed trail networks. With 11 km, 35 km and 47 km trail run options set among forested areas, open landscapes and purpose-built multi-use trails, the event provides a varied and memorable early-season challenge. Held each May, it's well-timed as a lead-in to the major marathon and ultramarathon events that take place across Queensland in winter.
