Trail Run Australia Tomaree

Trail Run Australia Tomaree

Trail Run Australia returns to Port Stephens to host a festival featuring diverse coastal terrains and technical trails. The event is centered at Fingal Bay Beach, where participants run through forests, sand dunes, and national parklands. The courses encompass various landscapes, including the Tomaree National Park, the Tomaree Coastal Trail, and the Samurai Dunes.

Participants can choose from several distances:

• TRA32: A 31.9 km course starting at Birubi Beach and finishing at Fingal Bay.
• TRA21: A 21.1 km half marathon starting and finishing at Fingal Bay Beach.
• TRA12.5: A 12.8 km course starting in Tomaree National Park.
• TRA6: A 5.8 km run starting in Tomaree National Park.
• Kids Mud Rats: A free event for children.

The event operates as a cupless festival to reduce waste, meaning runners are required to provide their own hydration systems such as packs, bottles, or cups. Aid stations are positioned along the courses, stocked with water, electrolyte drinks, and energy chews. For the longer distances, specifically the 31.9 km and 21.1 km events, athletes must carry compulsory safety equipment. Registration and equipment checks typically take place at the Fingal Bay Foreshore the afternoon before the races. Results are recorded using electronic timing, and finishers receive a memento or medallion upon completion.

Facilities at the race headquarters at Fingal Bay Foreshore include public amenities, showers, picnic seating, and a playground. Parking options include paid spots near the foreshore and free street parking in the surrounding areas. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
