Spectacular scenery with off-road trails at Hawks Nest.

Welcome to Australia’s freshest and naturally stunning ultra running event, traversing the Myall Lakes region of the Barrington Coast. In the Lakes Trail Festival runners can complete 100km, 70km, 50km or 30km. There is a 12km course for those wanting a shorter trail experience and a special 1km kids run.

There are 6 different run courses with each offering a unique trail running experience. All runs will start and finish in Providence Bay Park beside Bennetts Beach at Hawks Nest. T

The course covers fire trails, forest tracks, lakeside boardwalks, headlands, walking paths, sand dunes, beaches and road. There's a wide range of terrain so you'll need skills and gear hacks to manage each one.

Race weekend starts with rego on Friday 4 July and racing starting on Saturday 5 July 2025 – this is a great time of year to go for a run. Temperature wise it will be cool at night but mild during the day and most likely dry – perfect running weather.
