Whitsunday Trail Fest

Whitsunday Trail Fest Anaconda Whitsunday Trail Fest is organised by the Whitsunday Running Club~Event Date September 13 2026

The Conway circuit takes you on a 28km journey, through some beautiful scenery of the Conway National Park with it starting at Brandy Creek, and finishing at Airlie Beach. Designed as a 3-day hike, there are camping facilities, toilets and water at strategic locations along the track. Wander through majestic tropical rainforest, relaxing by seasonal creeks, and look beyond coastal townships to the Whitsunday Islands. Experienced long distance runners can complete the Whitsunday Trail Fest comfortably within the five and a half hour cut off. With plenty of time left over for swimming in the Airlie Beach Lagoon or have a drink or something to eat at the many fine establishments in Airlie township. It is a demanding course with many steep uphill sections. Running time will be approximately 1.5 times longer than a flat 28km. Add extra time for checking out the views from the lookouts.

Hi all, this is a map of the new start and finish from the start of the honey eater stairs to the start/finish line. This is different from previous years as we now go up and down the man st instead of around the back of Paterson way. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Have done a course check on the weekend (with just under 1 month togo) and all looking good. A video the course is below for the 28km,(also showing the change of the course towards the finish) obviously the 56 is the same track but starting at the finish line and going out and back. If you have any questions please reach out via email or ph.
Hope to see you all there.
