GCTR October Runs 2026

A monthly trail run is being hosted, supported by the Gold Coast City Council's Active & Healthy program. For October, there are three trail options. Day 1 is a 6km hilly run on Saturday, October 3rd, preceding the Coomera parkrun. Day 2 is a flat run through Coombabah Wetlands on Sunday, October 4th, with two start times available. Day 3 features running the more technical and undulating trails of Nerang Forest on public holiday Monday, October 5th. This day offers an earlier run to avoid the heat and a second run for a later start or longer duration. These runs are suitable for participants seeking extra kilometers before events such as the SEQ Trail Series, Blackall 100, or Ultra Trail Kosci, as well as for beginners in trail running. The run is free, and snacks will be provided. Registration is requested to assist with catering.
