A half marathon. 21km. We reckon it’s the perfect trail run distance. Achievable. Go fast-able. But what would make it better? Start it at twilight and run it into the night on the world famous Surf Coast!

Yep, the inaugural Afterglow – sister event to the Surf Coast Trail Marathon – will deliver just that. You’ll dive into the coastal trails at Point Addis, catching the day’s final rays before night closes in, before switching on the ‘glow’ – you mandatory headlamp – for that unique experience that is trail running at night, running towards the surf coast capital, Torquay, including touching the sands of Bells Beach. Enjoy the thumping African drums through the middle of the forest, a saxophonist snaking his tunes along the single track, and plenty of synth pop Devo / Lauper / Kids in the Kitchen style being pumped under the fluro vibe by the DJ at the finish arch. This night trail run is more than just a trot, it’s a celebration of the Afterglow running trails gives… (and we’re supporting beyond blue, the mental health charity).
