OMFG RUNNING FESTIVAL: EVENT CANCELLED

In 1896, The Swan View Railway Tunnel was opened. From the very beginning, it was acknowledged that it would be more suitable as a trail running tunnel than steam locomotives, but given the financial investment into the construction, it remained a train tunnel until 1966. It remains today, the finest preserved trail running tunnel in all of Western Australia.

The tunnel, along with the Eagle View & Heritage Trails, serve as the venue for the OMFG Trail Running Festival. The festival supports the On My Feet Group, a charity supporting the homeless and at risk of homelessness through support and running programmes to help them gain skills and knowledge to integrate back into society and employment opportunities.

The Festival, is a collection of trail running events covering 6k, 10k, 16k or 25k with all events passing through the iconic tunnel on the way to the finish line.

What does OMFG stands for?

On My Feet Group

On My Feet transform lives.

They assist those at risk of, or dealing with, homelessness. By providing exercise groups and structured programs, OMF aim to create pathways towards self-sufficiency and improved wellbeing.

Being homeless is more than the absence of shelter, and OMF believe the most effective solution is to empower the individual to drive the changes necessary to get themselves back on their feet.

They offer a hand up, not another handout.
