Whale Rock Trail Run offers a 6.5km Fun Run, a 17km Challenge Run, and Kids Athletics. Each category provides a unique running experience tailored to different skill levels.

If places remain available you can register on the morning of the event, however there is a cap on numbers for all events so to guarantee a place, don't delay in entering.

Yes, you can transfer your entry to a different sub-event (distance) or to another person via the registration portal until midnight on 15 February 2025, or on the day of the event. An administration fee will be payable.

The event will be held in all safe weather conditions. Guidance will be received from National Parks in case of fire risk or flood risk and participants will be communicated with immediately in case of any weather impacts to the event.

The Challenge Run has a minimum age requirement of 16. The Fun Run has a minimum age requirement of 7. We recommend children aged 7-10 participate with a family member, and our Kids Athletics event may be more suitable for children aged 7-12. The Kids Athletics event is suitable for children aged 3-4 with a parent/guardian, or 5-12 unaccompanied.

Anyone can participate in the 6.5km fun run, and our helpful Training Guides will assist beginners as they prepare for the trails. The 17km Challenge run is, well, challenging. We'd recommend you've run at least 10km before taking on this challenge, especially if you are new to trail running.

Walkers and Hikers are very welcome and encouraged to join the 6.5km fun run. The 17km Challenge Run is not recommended for walkers and participants may be requested to take a short cut if they are likely to exceed a 3.5 hour finish time. You are of course very welcome to walk some sections of the course as required.
