About the Event

Pennant Hills Park's Ern Holmes Oval becomes a gateway to untamed wilderness at the Whale Rock Trail Run on March 1, 2026, where 17km challenges, 6.5km recreational routes, and kids' athletics converge within a community-focused event prioritizing environmental stewardship through cupless hydration stations. This ACE Events production transforms trail running into holistic family experience, blending competitive racing with beginner training plans, live musical entertainment, and fundraising partnerships supporting Gotcha4Life's mental fitness initiatives nationwide. More than athletic gathering, this curated morning represents integrated community activation where every participant—whether seasoned trail veteran or first-time park runner—finds appropriate challenge amidst Sydney's bushland backdrop.

With finisher medals for all trail distances, professional photography services, and a $500 voucher lucky dip for nominated schools and sports clubs, the event incentivizes participation while maintaining competitive integrity through live results and category awards. The family village's food trucks and activities ensure spectators become active participants in the celebration, proving that the most impactful trail runs extend their reach beyond the singletrack into sustained community connection and charitable contribution.
