You Yangs Trail Running Festival

The You Yangs Trail Running Festival takes place on 18-19 July 2026 at 10 Branch Rd, Little River VIC 3221. It is the 2nd of 5 races in the Trailsplus Mountain Trail series. The event offers multiple race distances across Saturday and Sunday, including:

  • 5km
  • 15km
  • 21km
  • 30km
  • 42km
  • 50km
  • 100km
  • 100mi

The course uses a series of loops that start and return to the carpark. The routes pass through flat wooded bike trails and open rocky mountain trails. Some routes include a steep ascent with views from Flinders Peak across Port Philip Bay. The looped format means supporters can see runners multiple times during the race.
