Serpentine National Park gives this Perth Trail Series event its character: marked trail courses run through Kitty Gorge, a waterfall area, and stretches of remote trail where attention is paid to your feet as much as the view. The Truth or Consequences Trail Run feels like a proper bush outing rather than a polished road event, with options that range from family-friendly green trails to the double black course for runners who already know what they are signing up for.
Expect course markings and a race brief, then a day built around the start/finish village, where companions can stay with music, food trucks, and barbecue facilities while runners head into the hills. The mix of minimum ages, prior-event requirements, and accompanied first-timers indicates the organisers take the terrain seriously, but there is still room for younger runners and walkers, including a hiking option on the longer black route.
