Coastal High Trail Run
The Coastal High Trail Runs is an epic trail running event located in the iconic and spectacularly picturesque Gold Coast Hinterland on 29 August 2026. The Coastal High 50 is a point-to-point course that sees runners traverse spectacular trails through sub-tropical rainforest, open forest, and along cliff tops within Lamington National Park, before descending down into the Numinbah Valley and then climbing up (then down, then up!) to finish adjacent to the magnificent Purlingbrook Falls in Springbrook National Park. As well as the 50km, this event includes its "younger, shorter brother" the 28km Coastal High Crunch - while held over a shorter distance, it still includes most of the challenging elements of the CH50. The Coastal High is Race 3 in the 2026 Trail Trips Triple Crown; also incorporating the [In the Raw](/event/in-the-raw-trail-race/) and the [Border Bolt](/event/border-bolt-run-festival/).
