Welcome to Trail Run Wine!
Get ready for a huge weekend of dirt, trails, running, good food, campfires and winery vibes as we take over Mount Avoca Winery.
This year, we’re turning the winery grounds into a full trail running and mountain bike festival. Bring your bike, your runners, your mates, the kids and your camping gear for an unforgettable weekend in the Victorian Pyrenees.
Whether you’re chasing a marathon finish line, pinning on a race plate for the XCO mountain bike race, or simply kicking back with a wine by the fire pit, this weekend is all about adventure during the day and great atmosphere at night.
With trail running, XCO racing, camping, food trucks, music, family-friendly activities and the Mount Avoca Cellar Door Bar pouring all weekend long, this is more than just a race. It’s a weekend takeover.
This is not just for elite athletes. It’s a weekend designed for the whole community.
Run. Ride. Camp. Eat. Relax.
