About the race
The Eungella Rainforest Run is a trail running event held in Eungella National Park and Crediton Reserves near Eungella, QLD. The course runs through high-altitude rainforest, mist‑veiled canopies, mountain tracks and waterfall areas in the Pioneer Valley. The event offers marked routes with signage, pink tape, arrows and course marshals, and a safety vehicle with first aid on standby.
Three distances are available:
- 18 km The Remote Run with about 590 m of climbing, river crossings at the Diggings, and varied single track.
- 11 km The Loop Run with mixed terrain, climbs, and one water station on course.
- 5 km Out & Back Sprint on a shorter out-and-back trail.
Competitors must carry mandatory gear for the 11 km and 18 km distances, including a snake compression bandage, a fully charged phone, water and nutrition, and their race bib. Each runner is responsible for their own hydration and nutrition; only one limited water station is provided. Race chip collection and briefing occur before racing. Toilets are not available at the start/finish; nearest public toilets are at the Eungella Range cricket ground and Broken River Day Use Area. Parking is along Eungella Dam Road with directions provided from Broken River Information Centre.
Top three male and female finishers for each distance receive prizes. Entries are non-transferable within 14 days of the event and refunds are not available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
