August 31, 2019
Overview
Its time for a reunion of all trail runners. The team from Elite Energy and the Wingello RFS are reigniting the trail running world with a return to the Wingello State Forest.
Situated halfway between Sydney and Canberra just 5 km off the Hume Hwy, this amazing location was once the jewel in the trail running calendar with the Southern Highlands Challenge. This one-day festival will bring runners of all abilities together with distances from 50 km to 1 km on some of the most inviting and exciting trails NSW has to offer. With some of the longer events covering different terrain, on different loops and returning to race central after each lap, will make for an electric atmosphere for both athletes and spectators. With numbers limited in this pristine location, be early to enter and bring the whole family and friends to our Wingello Trail Festival.
50km – 24km – 18km – 7km – 1km
