Parklands Trail Running Festival
Sunday, 20th September 2026
Join us at Lizard Log in Greater Sydney Parklands for some trail running fun! There is a 32k, 20k, 11k, and a 6k run through a picturesque and nature-filled course.
This event offers an exciting blend of rugged natural beauty and trail running adventure, with a course that winds through scenic bushland, open fire trails, and a series of challenging hills. Expect rolling terrain that will test your legs and reward you with sweeping views and a true off-road experience. Whether you're a seasoned trail runner chasing elevation and grit, or a first-timer ready to take on the challenge, this undulating course promises a memorable journey and a finish-line feeling like no other.
All event finishers will receive an event-themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher certificate that you can print post-race!
