On 18–19 July 2026, the You Yangs Trail Running Festival returns as part of the Trailsplus Mountain Trail Series, staging distances including 5 km, 15 km, 21 km (half), 30 km, 42 km (marathon), 50 km, 100 km, and 100 mi ultra. Some of the longer events (ultra and marathon distances) begin on Saturday, while shorter distances run on Sunday. The courses consist of looped segments radiating from the main carpark, combining flat forest paths, rocky trails, steep climbs, and open ridge views (especially toward Flinders Peak and across Port Phillip Bay). The terrain is technical and scenic, with runners rarely far from aid stations, which occur every ~5 km on Sunday distances and ~10 km on Saturday ultra loops. The event emphasizes trail stewardship—encouraging runners to leave no trace, using reusable cups, and respecting trail maintenance in the You Yangs park.
