Devilbend Trail Run 2026

Devilbend Natural Features Reserve is the draw: bushland, a reservoir, and varied terrain that demands attention to your footing. The Devilbend Trail Run has a history, with its 50th running signifying a transition from a road race to a two-loop half marathon, and now to trails within the reserve. It has the feel of a club event rather than a formal production, in a positive sense. The course utilizes the reserve’s trails and tracks, incorporating a short gravel road section on the longer route and frequent shifts between grass, gravel, stones, mud, and clay. This makes the description of the course as versatile, challenging, unexpected, and fun seem accurate. Families are included, with a children’s event for those under 13, and the post-run activities are straightforward: spend the day in the area, then relax at a local cafe or winery.
