The 22nd Bellarine Rail Trail Run (17 or 34kms) will be held on Sunday August 23, 2026 as an out & back course from Queenscliff to Drysdale Railway Station & return (34km) or one-way Drysdale to Queenscliff (17km) along the BRT. The trail is tremendously scenic and ideal for running being wide, well marked and all on smooth, unsealed paths aside from the 4.5kms at the Queenscliff end (sealed). It is an ideal training run for the Geelong Running Festival & Melbourne Marathon events.

The course is relatively traffic free, but you do have to cross some major roads & the railway line, so please take care. The trail is also open to the general public and it is important that their use is not affected by the event. For this reason, this is NOT A RACE - there are no prizes for finishing first!

Entries capped at 300 runners

The U24 event is held in February on a Saturday with favourable outgoing tides.

The event aims to start early in the morning and lasts 9 hours.

A cutoff occurs 9 hours after first start so swimmers don't encounter an incoming tide.

All swimmers require a paddler for navigation and management of swimmer safety and feeds.

All swimmers require land support for drop off, transport of gear to finish, potential evacuation and to join the celebrations at the finish
