Speewah Legend Foot Race

Barron Gorge National Park forms the core of this rainforest trail run, with the course entering the Wet Tropics Rainforest World Heritage Area from Speewah Campground. The Speewah Legend Foot Race offers a genuine North Queensland trail morning: dense shade, wet roots, creek air, and old “traditional Djabugay pathways” underfoot along the Djina Wu track. The longer route connects Smiths Track’s “flowing downhill sections,” Yalbogie Track near the “spectacular Kauris,” two Stoney Creek crossings, Toby’s Lookout, and a detour to Glacier Rock. Shorter options provide beginners with access to cool clear creeks and demanding climbs, while experienced trail runners encounter the “calf-bursting ascents” and “long flowing descents” they seek. Observe the lush tropical rainforest, home to wildlife such as tree kangaroos, cassowaries, and amethystine pythons.
