Melrose Running Festival

Wilmington, Australia • 23 May 2026

The Melrose Running Festival, hosted by Adelaide Trail Runners, takes place in the scenic Mt Remarkable National Park near Melrose, South Australia. Established in 2017, this challenging trail event offers three distances: 50km, 30km, and 15km, catering to various skill levels. The course is known for its tough terrain and unpredictable weather, requiring mandatory gear for safety.

The 50km ultra demands qualifying experience due to its difficulty. Runners receive medals upon finishing, and aid stations provide hydration and snacks. The festival features a pre-race dinner and a post-race celebration with medal presentations at a local brewery, creating a vibrant community atmosphere.
