READ NOWThe Shire of Mundaring organises the annual event across different sections of the heritage trail each year.
New for 2016 is the move to offer the popular event as three separate challengers.
Shire President David Lavell said the new format would give adults and children the choice to trek the trail their way.
“We anticipate thousands of people will take part in this year’s trek, which will showcase three great sections of the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail,” he said.
He encouraged people who are feeling fit to participate in the new Trek Triathlon and post a picture on social media to be in with a chance to win the mountain bike.
“Wristbands will be handed out at each event and people need to take a selfie with their band at the start line of each of the three events,” he said.
“Once the third event is over, people should send the photos in a collage to the Trek the Trail Facebook page.
