Somerset Rail Trail Classic

Australia's "longest recreational rail trail" forms the route, following the historic Brisbane Valley Rail Trail through Lowood, Vernor, Esk, and Coominya towards Fernvale Sports Park. The Somerset Rail Trail Classic is in its 23rd year, a community event focused on "sharing an active and healthy lifestyle" with family, friends, or colleagues. The course offers a consistent rail-trail surface, concluding at Fernvale Sports Park on Brouff Road. The appeal lies in the open Brisbane Valley landscape, featuring "views of the Brisbane Valley and Brisbane River," offering a relaxed atmosphere. Prams are permitted, indicating a family-friendly audience, but dogs and horses are not allowed due to the trail's narrowness when participants are present.
