Why trail run in Australia
Australia is a beautiful country with a diverse range of landscapes, from the lush rainforests of the east coast to the arid outback. Running on trails allows you to fully appreciate and experience these natural surroundings, and can be a great way to see parts of the country that you might not otherwise visit.
When to trail run in Australia
The best time to trail run in Australia will depend on where you are in the country. The east coast tends to be more humid and subtropical, so the cooler months of April to September are generally the best for running. In the more arid parts of the country, such as the outback, it can be very hot during the summer months, so the cooler months of April to September are also the best time to visit.
