About the Event

Discover the pristine, wild beauty of Australia's southernmost coast at Run the Lighthouse: February 21, 2026, a pure trail running adventure in Victoria's iconic Wilsons Promontory National Park. Starting from the Tidal River campground, this event offers a stunning range of distances from a scenic 6km family loop to a challenging 75km ultra, all on 100% off-road trails and squeaky white beaches. With deliberately late start times, the day is perfect for immersing yourself in a landscape where rugged mountains meet aqua-clear waters, offering a true coastal trail experience just 2.5 hours from Melbourne.



Navigate unmarked but easy-to-follow courses using provided maps, passing through some of Victoria's most breathtaking and protected natural scenery, with abundant wildlife as your companions. Spaces are strictly limited and distances will sell out fast, so securing your spot early is essential, alongside booking your campsite through Parks Victoria. Whether you're seeking a personal endurance milestone or a memorable day in nature, this event promises an unforgettable journey to the iconic lighthouse and back.
