Ultramarathons — anything beyond the classic 42.2km — are the pinnacle of endurance running, and Australia delivers some of the most spectacular on earth. This group gathers every race longer than a marathon, from accessible 50km trail ultras to monster 100km and 100-mile adventures through coast, bush and high country. Iconic events include the Surf Coast Century, the Bondi to Manly Ultra along Sydney's coastline, Ultra-Trail Australia in the Blue Mountains and Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko in the Snowy Mountains. Demanding serious preparation, mandatory gear and plenty of grit, ultras reward you with scenery and a sense of achievement nothing else matches. Whether you're stepping up to your first 50km or chasing a buckle at 100 miles, your next big day is here.
