Parklands Trail Running Festival

The Parklands Trail Running Festival is held at Lizard Log in Western Sydney Parklands. This is the second edition of the event.

Four distances are offered: a 32 km, a 20 km, an 11 km, and a 6 km run. The course is an off-road trail through bushland and soft grass with undulating terrain. The event features professional chip timing by Multisport Australia.

All finishers receive a themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher's certificate. A photographer is present on the course, and photos are posted on social media after the race. The event has a strict midday cutoff time.

The location is only reachable by car, with parking available on both the east and west sides of Lizard Log. Participants are advised that other pedestrians, cyclists, and dogs may be on the paths and that the use of earphones is not recommended.
