Peaks & Trails Run
Dunkeld, Australia • 8-9 Aug 2026
Peaks & Trails is a challenging community-run trail running event held in Dunkeld at the heart of the Grampians National Park, Victoria. The weekend offers five distances: 6.4km, 13.5km, 20km, a 50km option, and the Mud-Dadjug Challenge. Courses combine sections of the Grampians Peaks Trail with private trails, offering views of the four southern peaks—Wurgarri (Mt Sturgeon), Bainggug (Piccaninny), Mud-Dadjug (Mt Abrupt) and Signal Peak.
August conditions are muddy and slippery, with surfaces ranging from river flats and grass to technical rocky single-tracks and 4WD tracks. Strollers aren’t allowed, and longer distances require mandatory gear. The event relies on volunteers and celebrates local scenery and community spirit.
