Bright Running Festival

Sunday, November 1, 2026 · Bright, Australia

About this race

In Victoria's Alpine High Country, this trail running weekend centers on Bright and the surrounding hills, prompting runners to pack appropriate footwear. The Bright Running Festival maintains a straightforward ethos: "Spend your weekend enjoying the trails," offering distances from short trail runs to an ultra marathon. It feels less like a typical road race and more like an opportunity to explore the High Country tracks for several hours. Expect a crowd focused on the course: runners drawn to trail rhythm, challenging climbs, and the unpredictable mountain weather. The event includes a children's run, ensuring a family atmosphere at the finish line alongside exhausted ultra runners. The description "thrilling run" applies here, but in a practical trail context: diverse terrain, the demands of the High Country, and a weekend best suited for those who appreciate earning their scenic vistas.
