Wingello Trail Festival 2026

The Wingello Trail Festival starts at Camp HQ in Wingello State Forest. The Sunday program features trail races of 50km, 25km, 15km, and 6.5km. The 50km race begins early, with shorter races starting throughout the morning. Presentations conclude the event in the afternoon. The location is significant: the forest's isolation requires 50km participants to carry essential emergency equipment. This distance is treated as a genuine trail challenge, not merely a long run. The 50km route consists of two laps using fire trails, single tracks, and varied forest terrain. Sections are technical and uneven, making trail shoes advisable. Runners must finish the initial lap before the midday cutoff. This structure offers a complete ultramarathon challenge for faster participants while providing shorter forest race options on the same day.
