Where Pemby Trail Fest 10K starts and finishes

Pemby Trail Fest 10K starts at Pemberton District High School, Pemberton, WA. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.

These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.

Full Pemby Trail Fest 10K Route Breakdown

Pemby Trail Fest is a three-day trail running festival based at Pemberton District High School's Event Village on Burma Road, deep in WA's Karri forest country. Friday's 7km Blue Course night run winds through illuminated forest single-track. Saturday brings the festival's biggest day: the 50km Double Black ultra marathon (from 6:15am, with a turnaround near Grays Road around the 27km mark), plus 22km Black, 10km Blue and 5km Green courses and a Kids Fun Run. Sunday mirrors the format with a 21km Black half marathon, 10km Blue and 5km Green courses, and another Kids Fun Run. Courses use rolling single-track through karri and jarrah forest, with aid stations along the way. Vehicle access on course is restricted to event and emergency crews, keeping the trails genuinely trail-only.

Training Strategy for Pemby Trail Fest 10K

Standard Training Window

6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 10K, whether it's your first or you're chasing a PB. Consistency and a weekly speed or threshold session matter more here than sheer mileage.

Terrain Specificity

This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.

The Taper Phase

Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Pemberton District High School, Pemberton, WA fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.

Pacing Execution

Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.

Fuel & Hydration Prep

Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.

How many weeks do you actually need to train for this 10K?

10K Nutrition & Fueling Plan

2-3 Days Prior

A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.

Race Morning

Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.

On-Course Fueling

No on-course fuel is needed at this distance for most runners — water stations are the usual provision.

Post-Race Recovery

A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
