Creating welcoming trail running experiences across Victoria.

Trailsplus is a small family-run organisation that creates trail running events in beautiful and challenging locations across Victoria. Our goal is to host welcoming and enjoyable events where runners of all ages and abilities can challenge themselves.

Welcoming Trail Events

Trailsplus events are designed to be friendly and enjoyable, giving runners the confidence to take on their first event or push further in their trail running journey.

Accessible For All Runners

From beginners to experienced runners, every participant is encouraged to set their own challenge and run at their own pace.

A Supportive Trail Community

Our events bring together a passionate community of runners, volunteers, and supporters who share a love for the outdoors and trail running.

The Story Behind Trailsplus

Trailsplus began with founder and race director Brett Saxon’s personal journey back to fitness.

In 2005 Brett set himself a challenge: run 160 kilometres in 24 hours while raising $25,000 for young people living with cancer through Canteen. Although he finished slightly outside the 24-hour target, the fundraising goal was achieved and proudly donated.

The experience sparked a passion for endurance challenges and trail running.

Later, when injury prevented Brett from competing himself, he began organising events so others could experience the same sense of challenge and achievement. With the help of family, friends and volunteers, Trailsplus was born.

What started as a small local event has grown into a year-round calendar of trail runs, while remaining proudly family-run and community supported.

SUPPORTING CANTEEN

All Trailsplus events donate $1 for each participant to Canteen, the Australian organisation for Young people Living with cancer.
Trailsplus has now surpassed donations of $80,000 to Canteen. Massive thanks to our runners, volunteers and supporters.
