Black Snake Trail Race 2026

Clohesy River Road forms the core of this event: a dirt out-and-back course starting from Cedar Park Road and traversing Dinden National Park. The Black Snake Trail Race offers a community-focused trail running atmosphere, distinct from a formal road race. Its appeal is straightforward and accessible: rainforest scenery, gravel paths, and a course suitable for both novice trail runners and experienced athletes seeking a challenge. Anticipate a practical trail run, featuring one or two creek crossings to invigorate your pace, with the "lush rainforest surroundings" providing the primary visual appeal. The longer distances extend to the "magnificent Clohesy River Fig Tree," a natural landmark serving as the turnaround point, transforming the run into an achievement of reaching a destination rather than just covering distance before the return journey.
