Event Details
Course Description
The Wentworth Falls Trail Run starts and finishes at Fairmont Resort in Leura, with both the 11km and 16km routes weaving through the pristine Blue Mountains National Park. Runners will tackle single‑track forest trails, steep stairs, and gentle climbs, all while soaking up spectacular vistas of Wentworth Falls and the iconic Mt Solitary. The 11km course includes moderate elevation gain, while the 16km adds extra climbs and longer descents, testing endurance and agility. The course offers a mix of technical sections and open glades, providing a rewarding challenge for trail enthusiasts. With well‑marked paths and the autumn colours of the Blue Mountains, participants can focus on enjoying the fresh mountain air. As part of the Running Wild NSW series, the event brings together a community of local trail runners.
