The Bracken

The Bracken Trail Race

Venture into the wild heart of untamed terrain where ancient bracken ferns carpet the forest floor and every stride tests your mettle. The Bracken Trail Race isn't just a run—it's a journey through nature's most demanding and beautiful classroom.

Choose Your Challenge:

25K – A fierce introduction to technical trail running that weaves through dense fern groves, climbs rugged ridgelines, and rewards you with sweeping vistas that make every burning muscle worth it.
50K – The ultimate test of endurance and grit. Double the distance, double the elevation, and an unforgettable odyssey through wilderness that will redefine what you thought possible.
What Awaits You:
This isn't your average trail race. Expect rooty single-track that keeps you honest, creek crossings that cool your determination, and climbs that build character one step at a time. The bracken-lined trails create a tunnel of green in summer and a golden corridor in fall—nature's own cheering section.

The Experience:
Whether you're chasing a PR or simply chasing the feeling of being truly alive, The Bracken Trail Race delivers. Our supportive aid stations, enthusiastic volunteers, and tight-knit trail community ensure that while the course is tough, you're never alone out there.

Who Should Run:
Trail runners ready to embrace the beautiful struggle. First-time ultra runners testing their limits. Seasoned veterans hunting for their next adventure. Anyone who believes the best views come after the hardest climbs.

The bracken bends but never breaks. Neither will you.
