About Trailsplus

Trailsplus is a small family-owned business that aims to provide running events that are fun and inclusive for all ages and abilities, located in beautiful, interesting and challenging environments.  We promote family involvement and encourage, facilitate and celebrate the achievement of people’s individual personal goals.

The passion behind Trailsplus grew from founder and race director, Brett Saxon’s, personal desire and mission to regain fitness, health and life-balance.  From a rut of long work hours and poor fitness, in 2005 he embarked on a regimented training exercise program culminating in a challenge that would keep him focused and benefit others.

His challenge was to raise $25,000 for young people living with cancer through the Canteen organisation by running 160km in 24hrs.  Coming in just over the 24hrs, the funds were raised and proudly presented to Canteen.  Trailsplus continues to support Canteen today by raising money through race entry fees.

When injury hit, Brett’s determination to stay on trails drove him to staging events for other runners.  Thus, Trailsplus was born.

With the help of family, friends and many volunteers, Trailsplus provides opportunities for people to set their personal challenge, test their limit and break it!!

At Trailsplus, that is what we encourage: take the plunge, find your limit … and break it! 

But most of all – ENJOY THE JOURNEY!!

Keep running!
