Mighty Jarrah Trail Run

Marrinup State Forest, Nanga Forest, and Lane Poole Reserve form the core of this event, with runners passing through "stunning Jarrah forests" and Western Australia’s "iconic tall timber country." The Mighty Jarrah Trail Run offers a genuine bush excursion rather than a refined road race: large trees overhead, forest floor underfoot, and sufficient route variation for both novices developing their trail skills and experienced runners seeking a challenging course. Expect undulating single-track trails, fire roads, and picturesque river crossings, with the Jarrah canopy providing welcome shade as the effort increases. The course undulates, presents technical sections, and favors consistent footing over outright speed, particularly within the forest segments. It is part of one of WA’s significant trail-running weekends, but the appeal is straightforward: a "true wilderness experience" and an "authentic Australian bush experience" on clearly marked trails.
