Race or roam to Fernvale
The Somerset Rail Trail Classic is back again for 2025, with four exciting challenges on offer on Sunday, July 13.

The 22nd annual event, which takes place on Australia’s longest recreational rail trail, has four challenge options with a 3km or 8km walk or run, and 20km and 44km bike rides.
Somerset Regional Council’s event showcases the best of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail with all courses crossing the finish line at the Fernvale Sports Park, where the SRTC festivities continue with stallholders, jumping castles, food, and other entertainment.
In 2025, funds raised by the SRTC will support Lowood Recreational Complex sporting groups: the Lowood Stags Junior Rugby League Football Club and the Brisbane Valley Soccer Club.
Lowood Recreational Complex Association Council representative, Councillor Brett Freese, said the Somerset Rail Trail Classic was all about promoting healthy lifestyles in the region.
“The Lowood Stags and the Brisbane Valley Soccer Club embody this same passion and we’re proud to support the work they do in providing fitness opportunities for our community,” Cr Freese said.
“Whether you want to race for first or just take a leisurely stroll, there’s no wrong or right way to have fun.
“The event is a great outdoor healthy activity to share with family, friends, or work colleagues, and a chance to enjoy the best of Somerset’s natural beauty.”
