John Forrest Trail Run

The John Forrest Trail Run takes place on 7 February 2027 at the corner of Flora and Park Road in Hovea. The event is organised by the West Australian Marathon Club and is open to non-members as well as club members.

Two trail distances are offered:

13 km
4.3 km

Runners are expected to carry their own water because there are no drink stations on the course. Water will be provided at the start and finish area. A GPX file and a course map are available for the 13 km route.

Entrance fees vary by distance, age category and membership status. Examples include AUD 5.00 for under 18 members, AUD 10.00 for members in the 13 km event, and AUD 25.00 for non-members in adult categories. Online registrations close on 6 February 2027. A late registration penalty applies from the Saturday before the event and applies to non-members only.

Volunteer opportunities are listed separately for those who wish to assist with the event. The location is given as Cnr Flora & Park Rd, Hovea, Western Australia. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
