The Born To Run Festival is a trail running event held on the trails inside the former Portland Cement Works, now known as The Foundations, in Portland, New South Wales. It takes place over the October long weekend.

There are four race options:

  • 2 km Kids
  • 5 km
  • 10 km
  • Half Marathon

Runners can also attempt to complete three races to become a "Trail Boss" by finishing the Half Marathon, the 10 km, and the 5 km. The courses offer a mix of single track and access roads through the scenic grounds.

Bib collection is available at the race village in The Silos Precinct. Free on-site and street parking is available for participants. Entries for the event open in April. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
