Welcome to Perth Trail Series
Perth Trail Series is one of Australia’s top trail running event organisers. Discover stunning scenery, supportive vibes, and a welcoming community with us.
We’re a purpose driven social enterprise and so much more than your standard event operator. Out of the many (~90) events we organise throughout the year, only 15 are commercial in nature with the vast majority being free social events and cause driven outings, like rubbish clean-ups and weekly group runs.
Fun, Safe & Supportive Events
We make trail running accessible, safe, and fun for everyone. With the help of our dedicated volunteers, we host 90 events a year across Perth, Peel, the South West, and the Great Southern regions. From casual weekend runs to intense ultra-marathons, each event embodies our core ethos — fun, community, and trail adventure.
Our Mission
Beyond races, we’re here to inspire a love for the outdoors and promote healthy living. We want everyone to connect with nature and each other.
