Sydney Trail Marathon

West Pennant Hills, Australia • 4-5 Oct 2026

Sydney Trail Marathon

The Sydney Trail Marathon is a trail running event held over the October long weekend, listed for Sunday October 4 and Monday October 5. The course runs through bushland and rugged sandstone country close to Sydney's central business district, and includes sandstone escarpments and sweeping valleys.

The event offers two main race options:

  • STM 42
  • STM 21

Entries include event amenities such as a premium event shirt, a finishers medal, free race photos, and aid stations along the course. Organisers provide race logistics, training tips, essential event information, and a frequently asked questions resource to help participants prepare. Volunteer roles are also part of the event structure.

The atmosphere is centered on a community of runners and volunteers moving through natural terrain rather than a road race setting. The site information highlights course photos and race recaps available after the event to document participants' runs.

The description focuses on the natural setting, race options, and participant services provided during the event weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
