GCTR September Run

About the Event

Join us for an exciting monthly trail run series, courtesy of Gold Coast City Council's Active & Healthy program. This September, we're setting out to explore Coombabah’s flatter trails, offering runners flexibility and enjoyment on Father's Day weekend.
For those looking to extend their run or needing to finish early, there will be a 3:30 PM start option for longer distances. Alternatively, at 4:30 PM, participants can enjoy a loop lasting between 60-75 minutes. A combination of both options is also available, allowing runners to tailor the experience to their schedule.
Registration is required as it helps us cater snacks and ensure we have enough resources on hand for all attendees. The event is free, providing an opportunity to connect with fellow trail enthusiasts while enjoying scenic trails.
Our planned 2026-27 series includes:
October 5 - Nerang: A build-up run before Halloween Hustle.
November 6 - Northern Gold Coast special.
December 6 - Hellfire Pass.
December 18 - The 12 Hills of Christmas in Currumbin.
January 3 - Mudgeeraba.
January 26 - Goat Loop Guessing Game at Nerang.
February 7 - Reedy Creek run.
March 5 - Tallebudgera trail.
April 11 - Numinbah adventure.
May 7 - The Spit, leading into Gold Coast’s 30th anniversary celebrations.
June 7 - Southern Gold Coast special.
We encourage you to participate as often as your schedule allows or even build a lifestyle around these trail runs. Experience the diverse and captivating landscapes of the Gold Coast with like-minded runners who share a passion for outdoor adventures.
Stay connected with our community, explore new trails each month, and embrace the vibrant running culture that defines the Gold Coast's Active & Healthy program.
