Flinders Island Running Festival
The festival runs from 4th to 6th September and features multiple trail and community runs around Whitemark and Trousers Point on Flinders Island. Navigation on the longer courses uses Avenza Maps and a provided GeoPDF, with pink signage at major junctions. A recommended gear list is published for the longer trail marathon.
Event distances include:
- Glow Run approximately 3 km around the Flinders Island Golf Club and Whitemark Bluff track
- 42 km trail marathon starting and finishing at Flinders Island Golf Club
- 25 km trail run or walk starting at Thule Road and Manns Road
- 11 km run starting at Memana Road
- Trousers Point recovery run 4 km, untimed
Teams are permitted in the 25 km and 11 km events with specified changeover rules; walkers are welcome in the 25 km event. Shuttle buses run between the Golf Club and remote start locations. Photographers will attend and the finish line uses a video camera to record finishing times. All registrants receive a $10 Island Voucher valid for food and non alcoholic drinks from Friday 4th September to Sunday 6th September. The event is listed as COVID safe and requests that people do not attend if they have had specified symptoms in the prior 72 hours. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
