Successful SW trail event will be back

The inaugural Pemby Trail Fest saw more than 350 runners take to the tracks of Pemberton at the weekend with event organisers saying they will “definitely” be back for more in 2019.

With the youngest participant just three years old and the eldest in their 70s, organiser Melina Mellino said the weekend was “absolutely brilliant”.

“Fantastic turnout, amazing weather and incredible trails,” Ms Mellino said.

Confirming the event would be back again next year, she said she wanted to ensure the community had every opportunity to get involved.

“We are definitely turning this into an annual event and looking at ways to make it bigger and better for next year,” she said.

“We’re definitely looking for the local community to get involved in whatever way they want to – even spectators, marshals or aid station people.”
