Trail Running Events & The Mountain Series Australia
Australian Trail Running Event Organiser Delivering Iconic Races Across Victoria, Australia
Trailsplus is a small, family-run trail running event organiser in Australia, creating inclusive running experiences in beautiful and challenging locations around Melbourne and across regional Victoria.
We design trail running events that welcome runners of all ages and abilities, from first-time trail runners to experienced ultra-distance athletes, delivering safe, supportive and memorable race experiences in natural mountain and bush environments.
Trailsplus delivers welcoming trail running events across Victoria, designed to be friendly, inclusive and enjoyable, giving runners the confidence to take on their first trail race or progress further in their endurance running journey.
From beginners to experienced trail and ultra-distance runners, every participant is encouraged to set their own challenge and run at their own pace across our mountain and trail running events.
Our events bring together a passionate trail running community in Australia, including runners, volunteers and supporters who share a love for outdoor adventure, endurance sport and natural mountain environments.
Trailsplus began with founder and race director Brett Saxon’s personal journey back to fitness.
In 2005, Brett set himself a major endurance challenge: running 160 kilometres in 24 hours while raising $25,000 for young people living with cancer through Canteen Victoria.
Although he finished just outside the 24-hour target, the fundraising goal was achieved and proudly donated.
The experience sparked a lifelong passion for endurance running, ultra-distance challenges and trail running events in Australia.
After injury prevented Brett from continuing to compete, he shifted focus to creating events so others could experience the same challenge, achievement and connection to the outdoors. With the support of family, friends and volunteers, Trailsplus was established as a family-run trail running event organisation.
What started as a small local running event has grown into a year-round series of trail running races and mountain events across Victoria, Australia, while remaining proudly community-driven and independently operated.
Through its trail running race calendar and community events, Trailsplus has now contributed more than $90,000, made possible by runners, volunteers and supporters across the Australian trail running community.
