WE ARE A CUPLESS EVENT
Toohey Trail Run is continuing its sustainable change in 2026 and is remaining a CUPLESS EVENT. In an effort to minimise our waste impact and align with existing trail runs there will be NO CUPS AT THIS EVENT (on course or in the precinct).
What does this mean for you?
- You will need to carry a bottle, collapsible cup or hydration pack.
- There will still be water stations available on course for you to refill.
- We suggest carrying a min of 500ml capacity.
In Partnership with our Endurance Partner, Tailwind Nutrition we are providing a free limited edition speed cup to celebrate our tenth Toohey Trail Run. The first 1200 to register will receive a free commemorative speed cup. If you miss out, Tailwind Nutrition will have cups to purchase on race day.
Exclusive cup perks:
- Ultra-Portable: Lightweight and collapsible, fits easily into any small nook.
- Freestanding: Stands upright when empty or full for easy use.
