Event Overview
Fed Hill is the closing round of the Riverina Trail Running Series, held from Julia Ronan Park in West Wodonga, Victoria. The 2026 event takes place on Sunday 23 August and offers three distances: 22km, 10km and 5km. The format is designed to suit a range of runners, with the shorter options sharing the early climb before splitting into their own routes. The long course adds extra features and a broader loop back to the finish.
What the Course Demands
This course is defined by sharp climbing early and sustained changes in gradient across all distances. The 5km returns quickly after the initial ascent, while the 10km completes a full loop of Fed Hill. The 22km extends the challenge with additional technical features described by the organiser, including a riverbed section, a tunnel crossing, and a climb over Hunchback Hill before returning beneath Fed Hill to the finish.
Who This Event Suits Best
Fed Hill suits runners who are comfortable managing effort on steep climbs and varied terrain, and who want a clear step-up across 5km, 10km and 22km options. The 5km can work well for newer trail runners seeking a shorter but punchy course, while the 10km and 22km are better for athletes wanting longer sustained work and more complex routing within a single event.
