KIDS TRAIL RUN
GET OFF THE PAVEMENT AND INTO THE PERTH HILLS!
Ready for an adventure that's way more exciting than running laps around a school oval? Join us for the Kids 5K Trail Run at the Feral Pig Ultra!
​
It's a chance to explore the stunning jarrah forest, navigate natural obstacles, and discover the thrill of trail running in one of the Perth Hills' most beautiful settings. Get ready for uneven ground, perhaps a little bit of mud, and a whole lot of fun!
WHAT MAKES THIS TRAIL RUN SO SPECIAL?
Trail running offers incredible benefits for young minds and bodies:
​
MINDFULNESS & FOCUS
Running on trails requires kids to concentrate on where they place their feet, which is a fantastic way to develop focus and proprioception (awareness of their body in space).
​
PHYSICAL STRENGTH
Navigating roots, rocks, and small inclines builds stability, balance, and core strength in a way that road running can't match.
​
CONNECT WITH NATURE
The course winds along the iconic Bibbulmun Track in Mundaring, a great opportunity to spot native birds, breathe the fresh hills air, and unplug from screens.
​
BOOSTED CONFIDENCE
Finishing a challenging trail run provides an immense sense of achievement and self-esteem that they'll carry long after they cross the finish line.
WHO SHOULD JOIN THE ADVENTURE?
​
This 5K is the perfect challenge for a wide range of young adventurers:
​
THE BUDDING ATHLETE (Ages 6-10)
For children ready to take on their first official 5K distance. Running with a parent is a great way to ensure they manage their energy and enjoy the experience side-by-side.
​
THE EXPERIENCED RUNNER (Ages 11-14)
A chance to test their skills on a more technical and exciting terrain, offering a change of pace from standard track or road running.
​
THE ACTIVE TEEN (Ages 15-17)
A fantastic, healthy goal to train for, either with friends or as a personal challenge, preparing them for longer distances in the future.
​
THE FAMILY UNIT
This is a brilliant opportunity for parents and children to bond over a shared, active goal. You get a workout, and they get your support every step of the way!
No entry is required for supervising adults.
