Castle Hill Trail Run

The Castle Hill Trail Run on 22 February 2026 in Townsville, Queensland is designed to get people into trail running, with 4.5km, 7km and 10km trail run events.

The trails are nothing short of a trail runners dream, flowy single track, challenging climbs, rewarding descents and spectacular views over the city as well as Magnetic Island and beyond. Don’t be fooled by the shorter distances in kilometres as in trail running you also have to take into account the elevation and technicality of the terrain. There are stairs and rock scrambles to be conquered, but the finish line will leave you with a sense of achievement and a want for more.

The race will start and finish from the Belgian Gardens State School.
