You asked, we listened!
The 10th edition of the Toohey Trail Run will see the introduction of new courses for our 5km, 10km and 21.1km.
All 2026 Toohey Trail Run registrations will include an epic finisher medal & a limited edition collapsible speed cup for the first 1200 to register. Registrations received before Monday 1st July will also receive a free race shirt/singlet!
Race Merch
Runners can choose between a race t-shirt or singlet, designed by Griffith University Bachelor of Design student, Rhiannon Morris.
CUP-LESS EVENT
Toohey Trail Run is continuing the sustainable change we made in 2025 and will remain a CUP-LESS EVENT in 2026.
In an effort to minimise our waste impact and align with existing trail runs there will be NO CUPS AT THIS EVENT (on course or in the precinct).
What does this mean for you?
- You will need to carry a bottle, collapsible cup or hydration pack.
- There will still be aid stations available on course, however we do not suggest relying on these station as a primary source of hydration on-course.
- You may experience wait times at on course aid stations if stopping to refill
- We suggest carrying a min of 500ml capacity.
