Event summary

Run the Lighthouse is based in the beautiful Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria on 21 February 2026 with a range of distances to choose from.

Based out of the Tidal River Campground, this trail running event will take you on adventures through some of Victoria most amazing coastal trails. Known for its rugged mountains, squeaky beaches, aqua clear waters, abundant wildlife, varying weather patterns and the relaxing family campground at Tidal River.

Choose from 70km - 50km - 42km - 21km - 6km distances.

2026 sees some changes to the courses due to the Tidal River bridge being out of action. The 6km is an out and back along Norman Bay beach and the headland. The 21km follows the coast then turns inland to Telegraph Track Junction, and return. The 42km is the same as 21km, but climbs Mt Oberon before returning. The 50km is to the lighthouse and return, via Waterloo Bay and Southern tip of the prom. The 70km is the same as 50km, but climbs Mt Oberon on the way.
