We provide trail running events and tours

TRAIL RUNNING FOR THE
EVERYDAY RUNNER

Our trail running events in Sydney are designed for beginner to intermediate runners, offering distances from 5km to 50km. If you’re looking to transition from road running to trails, we’re the perfect place to start. And if you have a 20k or 50k + trail race on the horizon, our races make an excellent training event.

At Alpha Trail Events, we bring the thrill of trail running to everyday runners like you, all while celebrating the beauty of the Australian landscape.

We believe life’s too short for dull runs – whether you’re a seasoned trail running enthusiast or have just laced up your running shoes for the first time, our single day trail events cater to everyone keen on enjoying the great outdoors.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all deal. We offer a range of Sydney trail races, allowing you to tailor your challenge to your level of readiness.

We’re simply enthusiasts who love a good trail run, and we’re confident that you’ll share our passion after challenging yourself in a real Aussie trail experience.

We live by the motto “If your trails don’t challenge you, they aren’t wild enough”. 

See you on the trails!

WHAT WE OFFER

EVENT REVIEWS

Event organisers had planned everything to the minutest of detail including the gear – hats, nutrition pack etc. It felt as if a lot of planning and research had gone into preparation for this event. It was one of the best trail running events in Sydney I have experienced. 

The event exceeded my expectations – it was so well organised. We each received a goodie bag prior to the run and to top it off there was ice baths and a bbq afterwards. I would highly recommend Alpha Trail Events who host trail running events in Sydney to anyone interested in trail running.

The experience started well with a little goodies pack! I really enjoyed the experience, the optional second lap was also great as it allowed for refuelling and deciding whether to do the longer distance. The bbq at the end was also great.
