Bellarine Rail Trail Run 2026
The Bellarine Rail Trail Run is scheduled for Sunday 23 August 2026 at The Bellarine Railway, Queenscliff Station, Symonds Street, Queenscliff VIC. The event offers two course options along the Bellarine Rail Trail.
- 34 km out and back from Queenscliff to Drysdale Railway Station and return
- 17 km one-way from Drysdale to Queenscliff along the trail
The trail is described as scenic, wide, well marked and mostly on smooth unsealed paths, with about 4.5 km of sealed surface near the Queenscliff end. The course is relatively traffic free, but participants cross some major roads and a railway line. The trail is open to the general public during the event and organisers note that public use should not be affected.
This is explicitly not presented as a race; there are no prizes for finishing first. Entries are capped at 300 runners and both distance entries list early and late fee tiers. The organisers identify the event as an appropriate training run for the Geelong Running Festival and the Melbourne Marathon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
