2026 Rail Trail Run & Ride Festival
Registrations are now open for this year’s Rail Trail Run & Ride Festival, which is an annual two-day running and cycling event held along the picturesque North East Tasmania Rail Trail. The trail follows a former railway line between Scottsdale and Billycock Hill (Tulendeena), offering a unique off-road experience through open farmland, lush forest, fern-lined sections, and striking cuttings.
Hosted by the Rotary Club of Scottsdale in partnership with the Launceston Running Club, the 2026 event will take place on:
- Saturday 19 September – running events
- Sunday 20 September – cycling events
With distances ranging from 2km to 54km, the festival caters to all ability levels. Participants can choose to run, walk, ride, or take part across both days, making it an inclusive and accessible event for the broader community.
