The annual mountain bike, walk and run event attracted more than 400 competitors in November and raised $8400 for the trust, spokesman John Sullivan said.
The race gives access to private and forestry land offering spectacular views and a range of terrain for all abilities.
Mr Sullivan said the event could not run without its generous sponsors and supporters.
The event will return on November 5.
