Don’t miss the Trail Festival!

The 2020 Rainbow Beach Trail Festival is being held on Saturday August 1, and the town is excited!

Run Queensland race director, Brett Standring said: “This is undoubtedly Queensland’s most beautiful trail-running event, with spectacular trails taking you through one of the marvels of nature – the towering sand cliffs of the Cooloola Coast.

“This year, in lieu of medals we will present a $5 voucher to winners to spend at Rainbow Beach businesses and inject some money into the local community.

“We are super excited for this event – it started with 80 runners nine years ago and now we have 500 competitors with 150 on the waitlist.

“All our Covid checklists are in place and we welcome the competitors and their families to this great event.

“This is the perfect event for a weekend getaway, so make plans to stay the weekend and enjoy the many cafes and restaurants in the region or make sure you book in for next year.“

The event sign-on begins on Friday July 31 from 3 to 6.30pm at Phil Rogers Park – this is just for the pickup kit as the race is sold out.

On Saturday, August 1, sign on is from 5am at Phil Rogers Park and the 42km marathon starts at 6.30am followed by the half marathon at 7.30am and the 11km run at 8.30am.
