Wonderfalls 2026

Wonderfalls takes runners into the Otway mountains behind Lorne, a seaside town on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road. Held in August and hosted by Trailsplus, it is a trail running festival offering distances from 6km to a 75km ultra, including 14km, 25km, marathon-distance, and 50km options. The route crosses the Cumberland River and uses rugged Otway trails featuring single track, river crossings, waterfalls, coastal bushland, and Mountain Ash forest. The 6km and 14km races are suitable for beginners or runners seeking a shorter, faster day, while the longer races provide experienced trail runners extended time in the hills. The event is in its eighth year, and it has become a regular fixture on runners' calendars.
