EVENT GUIDE
SUNDAY 31ST MAY BLACKWOOD
WELCOME TO THE 2026 TRAIL RUNNING SERIES
We can’t wait to RUN A LITTLE WILD on the trails together this winter - commencing with race 1 at beautiful Blackwood on 31 May! Get ready for a season of adventures, fun and fresh air as we visit three wild venues over the next three months. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned trail warrior, you’ll feel right at home among the trail running community that makes these events so special. Race 1 kicks off at Blackwood on the Lerderderg River west of Melbourne. We first raced here in 2025 and the courses got a huge thumbs up as they explore the river valleys, historic aquaducts and undulating hills of this picturesque part of the state. Before or after running, Blackwood has eveything you need with a friendly village feel including cafes, a classic country pub and a variety of accommodation right on the doorstep of the trails. We’re very excitied to be returning in 2026. So warm up your legs, rally your mates and get ready to run a little wild at Blackwood for Race 1. The Rapid Ascent Team
