  Federation Ultra Trail

  Born from a sense of adventure and a love for exploring our own backyard, the inaugural Federation Ultra Trail was held in 2018. The course traverses the southern end of the Lavender/Federation Trail from Monarto Safari Park to the riverside trail head at Sturt Reserve in Murray Bridge.

  Runners are treated to exclusive access to Monarto Safari Parks walking trails that allows them glimpses of roaming Wild African animals including Meerkats, Giraffe, Bison, Chimpanzees and Rhinos. Proceeds from the event have raised in excess of $35,000, donated to Monarto Safari Park to help protect endangered species.

  In 2019, the Federation Ultra Trail was proud to become a part of the first S.A. Five 50’s Ultra series; where runners take on the mammoth challenge of completing 5 of S.A.’s Trail Ultras. This series is now in its 7th year.

  Welcome to the 2026 Murray Bridge Running Festival 5k - 10k - 21.1k --- Sunday November 1st will be the 8th annual running of our event and again our Halloween edition! The course starts and finishes by the Bunyip at Sturt Reserve taking in the River Cities highlights whilst hugging the River. A Bridge closure is in place where all runners get to run over the first bridge to span the Murray River. Run the riverside esplanade, reserve, Bridge St, and the first bridge to span the Mighty Murray! This is a stunning course and not to be missed. Race Director’s Note: Unfortunately, we’ve had to remove the Marathon Distance from the 2026 event because of construction works on the levee banks. The marathon distance will return in 2027. The 5km event will be our Monster Mash Fun Run, where kids can dress up and get amongst the Halloween fun. Course Maps are available on the MMI website. Registrations Close October 25th !
