Melrose Running Festival

The Melrose Running Festival, hosted by Adelaide Trail Runners, takes place in the scenic Mt Remarkable National Park near Melrose, South Australia. This challenging trail event offers three distances—50km, 30km, and 15km—catering to various skill levels. The course, known for its tough terrain, starts and finishes in Melrose, featuring updated routes due to recent bushfires.

Runners receive medals upon finishing, and the 50km ultra requires prior qualifying experience to ensure safety. Aid stations provide hydration and snacks, but runners must bring their own cups. The festival includes a pre-race dinner and a post-race celebration with medal presentations at a local brewery, creating a vibrant community atmosphere.
