You Yangs Trail Running Festival
The You Yangs Trail Running Festival takes place on 18-19 July 2026 at 10 Branch Rd, Little River VIC 3221. It is the 2nd of 5 races in the Trailsplus Mountain Trail series. The event offers multiple race distances across Saturday and Sunday, including:
- 5km
- 15km
- 21km
- 30km
- 42km
- 50km
- 100km
- 100mi
The course uses a series of loops that start and return to the carpark. The routes pass through flat wooded bike trails and open rocky mountain trails. Some routes include a steep ascent with views from Flinders Peak across Port Philip Bay. The looped format means supporters can see runners multiple times during the race.
