New to the 3 Bays Running Festival, the 30km Coastal Trail Run has been introduced in response to popular demand, offering runners the perfect mix of challenge, adventure and spectacular scenery.

​

The race begins high above the coastline with breathtaking panoramic views across Bridgewater Bay before joining the iconic Great South West Walk towards Portland. The course passes the historic Cape Nelson Lighthouse and follows spectacular coastal trails with sweeping ocean views for much of the journey, before finishing on the picturesque foreshore of Portland Bay as part of the annual Portland Upwelling Festival.

​

Whether you're looking to push yourself over a longer distance, take the next step towards an ultra, or simply enjoy an unforgettable day on the trails, the 30km is the perfect opportunity. With beautiful single-track trails, rugged coastline and incredible scenery around every corner, this is trail running at its best.

​

Challenge yourself, experience one of Victoria's most spectacular coastal trails, and discover why Portland is one of the best-kept secrets in the trail running community.
