Where Trail Blaze Fun Run 5K starts and finishes
Trail Blaze Fun Run 5K starts at Wungong Regional Park, Bedfordale 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 Trail Blaze Fun Run 5K Route Breakdown
The Trail Blaze Fun Run takes runners through the rugged beauty of Wungong Regional Park. The 5km easy route follows the gentle floor of Wungong Gorge, offering sweeping valley views and a mostly flat surface ideal for newcomers or a relaxed pace. The 10km moderate course adds technical sections with rolling climbs, tighter switchbacks and rewarding descents that test fitness while showcasing the park’s rocky outcrops. The toughest 15km challenge climbs the steep Wungong Hills, delivering significant elevation gain and demanding footing on natural trail.

Training Strategy for Trail Blaze Fun Run 5K
4-8 weeks is enough for a 5K, whether it's your first or you're chasing a PB. Short, sharp interval and tempo sessions matter more here than overall mileage.
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.
Ease off mileage in the final few days, keeping a short, sharp race-pace effort or two to stay sharp. Arrive at Wungong Regional Park, Bedfordale WA fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
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.
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.
5K Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.
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.
No on-course fuel is needed at this distance for most runners — water stations are the usual provision.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
