A three-day celebration of the trail running lifestyle.
Only an hour-and-a-half drive from the Melbourne CBD, but a world away – ditch the concrete jungle for a fern fringed one and come and play in the Warburton Valley.
There's plenty of runs to choose from ranging from 50km trail ultra, the 22km Donna Double - part of the Golden trail National Series presented by Salomon - plus the renowned 'Redwoods Rush' - perfect for those new to trails.
Plus there's a night run, 14km, three 4.5km outings, aaaand a lilo derby. Yes - this the world's only trail festival that features a lilo race! And a thong race, for that matter! And a film screening. And some seminars. So come and play for the weekend of celebrating the trail and mountain running lifestyle we all love so much.

Important Event Details to Note
NOTE RE ACCOMMODATION:
It's limited in Warby, being the March Labour Day long weekend and all.
Check out all the regular haunts (AirBnB, Stayz etc) and our links on the Accommodation page HERE including the Alpine Retreat Hotel (the venue for our famous night run back to the bar!).
We recommend booking now!
We also offer a fundraising camp accommodation option: the Warburton Primary School (of which our Race Director is an alumni!) raises money by offering a sweet camp set up on its school sports oval (complete with running track around its boundary for your warm ups, and a 360-degree bowl of mountains surrounding you).
To book, see the separate booking page:
WARBY PS CAMP ACCOMMODATION
More details found on our website Accommodation page.
NOTE RE: REFUNDS / TRANSFERS
It is a condition of entry that you agree to our refund policy.
We will offer a refund less admin fee ONLY PRIOR midnight 6th February.
Post that date we do not offer refunds nor transfers to future events.
We apologise, however this is pretty much standard procedure for running events for reasons of sunk costs by that time.
Exceptions are not made for late injuries or clashes of unexpected 'other engagements'.
You can transfer your entry to other person.
Thanks for entering Salomon Warburton Trail Fest 2026!
We look forward to welcoming you to Warburton come the March long weekend. Remember to bring your lilo (and your thongs) and book your accommodation earlier as there is limited stock in town! But there's always our Warby Primary School Oval Campsite! Although sites are limited also - so get in quick.
