Bellarine Rail Trail Run

Queenscliff, Australia • 24 Aug 2025

The Bellarine Rail Trail Run, now in its 21st year, takes place in Queenscliff, Victoria. It offers two distances: 34km out-and-back from Queenscliff Station to Drysdale and back, or 17km one-way from Drysdale to Queenscliff, along the Bellarine Rail Trail. The route is scenic, wide, and well marked, with mostly smooth unsealed surfaces and about 4.5km sealed near the Queenscliff end.

It’s relatively traffic-free, though there are road and railway crossings. This is not a competitive race; there are no prizes. The event works well as a training run and is supported by local sponsors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
