Run the Great Whitsunday Trail

The Great Whitsunday Trail takes you on a 28km journey of the Conway Circuit, through Conway National Park, starting at Brandy Creek, and finishing at Airlie Beach. Designed as a 3-day hike, there are camping facilities, toilets and water at strategic locations along the track. Wander through majestic tropical rainforest, relaxing by seasonal creeks, and look beyond coastal townships to the Whitsunday Islands.

Experienced long distance runners can complete the Whitsunday Great Walk comfortably within the five and a half hour cut off. With plenty of time left over for swimming in the Airlie Beach Lagoon or drinking and dining at the many fine establishments in Airlie township. It is a demanding course with many steep uphill sections. Running time will be approximately 1.5 times longer than a flat 28km. Add extra time for checking out the views from the lookouts.
