Kuitpo Forest Trail Run

Imagine yourself surrounded by the majestic trees of Kuitpo Forest, nestled near Meadows in the Mount Lofty Ranges. As you wander through the ancient lands of the Kaurna and Peramangk peoples, you’ll be transported to a place where nature’s beauty reigns supreme. Established in 1898 to ensure a sustainable timber resource for South Australia, Kuitpo Forest spans 3,600 hectares of breathtaking scenery, blending pine plantations with native bushland. The air is filled with the sweet scent of pines, while the forest floor is alive with the magic of pixies dancing among bright red Amanita muscaria mushrooms.
