Bright Running Festival

The Alpine High Country of Victoria is the focus: a weekend centered on dirt, hills, and the straightforward aim to "Spend your weekend enjoying the trails." The Bright Running Festival offers a genuine trail gathering, distinct from a road race with a woodland setting. Its longer ultra distances provide a challenge, while the shorter events ensure a diverse field of participants. Expect races across High Country terrain, where careful footing and pacing are more important than pursuing a fast, flat time. A children's event is also included, broadening the appeal beyond dedicated ultra runners. This creates a communal atmosphere, with many participants staying to watch subsequent runners finish.
