Marysville Marathon Festival

Trailsplus is proud to host the annual Marysville Marathon Festival. The event has played an important part in the community’s recovery from the tragic 2009 bushfires through financial donations and community involvement.

The event features running events of 4km, 10km, Half Marathon (21km), Marathon (42km) and Ultramarathon (50km) on scenic valley trails and forest tracks, passing sparkling rivers and waterfalls. Participants travel alongside the Steavenson River and Falls, take on beautiful forest trails and, for the longer distances, some challenging hills await with great rewards at the top. For those who enjoy a slower pace, walkers join in the shorter distances.

2023 introduces some exciting new Saturday events like the Kids 1500m dash, and the King and Queen Of the Mountain 7km and 14km events. And there’s the new 100km that starts during Saturday night – tell us how fast you can run 50km during the night and we’ll give you a start time so you join up with the 50km runners on course on Sunday morning.

Come and make a whole weekend of it. Competitors, volunteers and onlookers all have a great day out, supporting the community, encouraging others and experiencing the beauty of the Marysville.
