Now in its 18th year, the Whitsunday Trail Fest is confirmed for September.
Hosted by the Whitsunday Running Club, the Whitsunday Trail Fest explores the very best of the region’s tracks, with a variety of different treks for the avid runner.
Beginning in 2005 by the Mackay Road Runners, the Whitsunday Trail Fest only had the 28-kilometre course but has now evolved to encompass the ultra-58-kilometre, the HoneyEater Challenge, and the Kids Beach Run.
The WTF58 Shokz Ultra begins at the Airlie Beach Soundstage, with the first stage of the trek to the stairs of Kara Cres.
Part two takes runners through to HoneyEater, where runners have spectacular views of the Coral Sea on their right.
Part three is through Bloodwood Camp, along the coastal ridges before making it to Repulse Creek.
This is a great spot to run through Jubilee Pocket and the Whitsunday islands, with a fantastic array of flora and fauna to greet runners.
The WTF28 is by far the most popular option for the Fest, with runners taking on Brandy Creek before going past Repulse Creek, Bloodwood Camp and Kara Cres.
The HoneyEater Challenge is a short 10.5-kilometre run, popular for beginners, where the trek runs through the clouds and has great views of the coral sea.
The last trail is the Kids Beach Bash, a quick dash across Airlie Beach Foreshore, so that every member of the family can get in on the Whitsunday Trail Fest.
