22.01.2022 LOCAL LEGEND KATHRYN! Ultra runner from UTA, Blackall, to the amazing UTMB (The really big one over in Europe across some amazing Alps through France, Italy and Switzerland -only about 176km) "My way" documentary star on channel 9! TRAQ Vice President (trail running associated of Qld)... White Rock parkrun event director and of course our local legend trail runner, has always been one for great encouragement and support throughout the local running groups in Brisbane and will be kick starting the 12km run on Sunday with a few encouraging words for you all! Here is a little something about Kathryn and if you see Kathryn around and have some questions, make sure you say G'day! "In 2008 a New Years resolution was made and I wanted to run 5km without stopping! Who would have thought in 2017 I would be competing in the international UTMB trail event. White Rock become my training ground exploring single technical trails to the challenging rolling fire trails. White Rock become a place where I made many friends and many hours of running never become dull with such a mix of terrain and scenery. Watching sunrises and sunsets at their best is always magical. I love adventure, and White Rock never disappoints. It brings serenity in my recovery time, fun with friends when I need it the most and always tests my limits when I need to be at my best in training. Having White Rock trails at my back door is a trail runners dream. I have enjoyed sharing others overcome their trail challenges from their first trail run or their first night trail running experience. Watching people grow within themselves from just taking the step outdoors and falling in love with these trail has inspired me. White Rock will always remain a special place and my memories continue to grow" #myrunning

06.01.2022 LOCAL LEGEND SURGE! Running the Trail Festival in 1 week! Most locals know the trail legend, Surge, his passion for running on trails keeps him out at White Rock on a regular basis and advocates strongly for high maintains of the tracks and especially upkeep on the flora and fauna, for all of us to enjoy. Check out what Surge has to say and make sure you say G'day to him when running with on Sunday!... "The funny thing is when I was young I would run though the jungles of south east Asia and also the Blue Mountains just for fun. At the time I didn’t know I was trail running, but I knew I love it and in 2013/14 I wanted to get back into fitness and lose some weight, so I started running mainly on the road with Springfield Runners Group (SRG). A couple of guys from SRG were running a trail run, and I was asked to join in, so I went along, and from that day on, I caught the trail bug. I also change my running sometimes and still hit the road for a causal run, however, my passion is out on the trails and I also love building and maintaining them so everyone can enjoy them. There is something very special about running out at White Rock, I don’t know what it is but when you hit the trails, nothing else matters and it I feel a sense of healing for the soul and as a bonus keeps me fit. I do feel a spiritual connection to White Rock, it dose not matter how many times I run out there, the feeling is the same. We are so lucky to have so many places to trail run in south east Queensland and I am grateful for White Rock being my local conservation area to run in. I enjoy being part of the Trail running community, but most of all I just love running" Surge

06.01.2022 White Rock Trail Festival will not go ahead for the year 2021! As a committee, we have decided with these unpredictable and unstable times with Covid, it is best to postpone the festival until the year 2022. We also understand that there are events on that are family businesses and as a non-for-profit we feel our festival is okay to be on hold for a year. ... We do apologise, however there are many great trail events on this year, so make sure you support your local events through these unstable times. We will be in contact with our sponsors and any free entries will be either gifted with merchandise or you will be able to redeem them in the year 2022! We will be back, we just think this is the best decision for the festival and our committee members.

05.01.2022 White Rock Trail Festival 8th of May, 2021 (Saturday) Registrations will open February 2021!
