From 8am we will be at the Dungog Common for our Run Dungog Trail Running Festival. With a local coffee cart, local brunch produce, kids bushcraft-rewilding-trail running activities activities (fully supervised while you run!!) music, dog friendly and just a great atmosphere.

What about the kids?

On the day Wildcraft Australia are hosting the kids outdoor adventure day in the
Dungog Common.

Think nature-play games, bush crafts, survival skills and their very own running adventures.

Kids aged 5 to 12 will be supervised for the duration of Sunday’s events with nature games, outdoor picnic, bush crafts, and their own mini-trail-run event. Since the outdoor adventure day is taking place in the Dungog Common the kids will have the chance to catch stages of the events and parents who are taking part can check in on their kids during the day.

Register the kids when you register to run
