Run the Lighthouse at Tidal River Wilsons Promontory
Run the Lighthouse is scheduled for 21st Feb 2026 at Tidal River in Wilsons Promontory. The event offers multiple trail distances and uses an unmarked course that requires participants to navigate using a map or navigation app. Course maps, GPX and CRS files and a tracker app guide are provided in advance.
Distances offered:
- 6 km
- 21 km
- 42 km
- 50 km
- 75 km
Course highlights vary by distance. The 6 km route is an out and back along Norman Bay beach and the headland. The 21 km route follows the coast then turns inland to Telegraph Track Junction before returning. The 42 km route follows the 21 km course and also climbs Mt Oberon. The 50 km route includes a lighthouse return via Waterloo Bay and the southern tip of the promontory. The 75 km route follows the 50 km course and includes the Mt Oberon climb.
The event is presented as a family friendly weekend with options around Tidal River. Organisers require mandatory safety gear and conduct gear checks; incomplete gear will result in no race start. The 50 km and 75 km distances are noted as requiring experience to ensure participants can complete the course safely. Accommodation inside the park is limited and maps were updated in 2025 due to an out of action bridge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
