It’s time for a reunion of all trail runners!
The team from Elite Energy Events and the Wingello RFS are reigniting the trail running world with a return to the stunning Wingello State Forest.
Situated halfway between Sydney and Canberra, just 5 km off the Hume Hwy, this incredible location was once the crown jewel of the trail running calendar with the Southern Highlands Challenge. Now, it’s back with a festival that will unite runners of all abilities.
With distances ranging from 50 km to 6.4 km, these trails are some of the most inviting and exciting in NSW. Many of the longer events will feature unique loops across varying terrain, all returning to race central after each lap. This setup guarantees an electric atmosphere for athletes and spectators alike!
With limited entries available for this pristine location, be sure to register early. Bring the whole family and your friends for an unforgettable experience at the Wingello Trail Festival.
50km – 25km – 15km – 6.4km
From now on, it’s snap on, race on. Elite Energy will be pin-free by 2026 – because we’re serious about reducing waste.
They’re reusable, easy to use, and built to go the distance.
Do the planet a favour – snap to it.
