Event Overview
Trails and Tails Coopernook is held on 23 August 2026 at Coopernook Forest HQ in the Coopernook State Forest, NSW. The program offers four distances: 21.1km, 14km, 7km and 4km, with solo and group entry options. Participants may take part with a dog or without, with event rules outlining lead requirements and on-course conduct. Race-morning check-in and mandatory gear checks are scheduled at the event hub.
What the Course Demands
This edition includes multiple distance choices within the one event day, so pacing and effort management will differ by goal. Course detail published for Coopernook HQ lists a 7km route with 94m of elevation, indicating some climbing relative to the distance. The organiser’s rules emphasise staying on the marked course, checkpoint procedures, and carrying mandatory gear, with random checks possible during the event.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners looking for a structured race-day environment with shorter and longer options on the same date, from 4km through to 21.1km. It can work well for those who prefer a run/walk format and for participants who want the choice to run solo or as part of a group. Athletes comfortable following detailed event rules and checkpoint processes will fit the format.
