Flinders Island Running Festival

The Flinders Island Running Festival, held annually in early September on Tasmania’s Flinders Island, offers a family-friendly celebration of trail running with a strong community focus. The 2025 event features a variety of distances including a 42km trail marathon, 25km and 11km runs, and a unique 3km Glow Run around Whitemark illuminated by lights. The marathon course showcases diverse island trails such as the Cattle Track, Haulands Trail, and Bluff Track, with aid stations and mandatory gear checks for safety.

A relaxed 4.4km recovery run at scenic Trousers Point concludes the festival. Participants receive a $10 Island Voucher redeemable on food and non-alcoholic drinks, enhancing the local experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
