The WTF28 Anaconda Trail is the original and still the most popular distance. This point-to-point run, from Brandy Creek to Airlie Beach, continues to hold its position as the Whitsundays’ premier off-road race, attracting trail runners from both Australia and overseas.
The course features a mix of single-track and fire trails, with multiple creek crossings. The WTF28 is a challenging race against the clock, with steady climbs and descents. The first 74 runners will be allocated a Whitsunday Island name on their race bib.

Event date: September 14th, 2025.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fit enough to complete the event. Ensure that you are in good health and that you do not have any illness that will hinder your ability to complete the event. It is your responsibility to monitor your health and condition during the event and to withdraw from the event if you are no longer fit enough to continue.
