The Five Peaks Trail Running Festival is a multi-distance event on the spectacular trails of the Adelaide Hills. Join us for the 58km AUTRA Short Trail National Championship or take part in one of the shorter distances. You’ll travel through spectacular native bushland, open fire trails, and technical single track, and be rewarded with spectacular views.

The course starts in Athelstone in the shadow of Black Hill Conservation Park where you'll climb your first peak, before winding through the Morialta Conservation Park where you might spy a rock climber if you look up. You'll pass historic ruins and townships, and enjoy magnificent views of Adelaide and the coastline before you head through the disco tunnel and finish in Belair National Park.

Following the well-known Yurrebilla Trail, we’ve thrown in a few diversions including the iconic Mount Lofty Summit. Whilst it may be called Five Peaks, there are definitely more than five hills!

The event caters to runners of varying abilities with 58 km, 26 km, 17 km and 10 km distances.

Expect a great day out on the trails, a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, a well-supported event and a fantastic finishing hub at the end of the course.
