What’s it all about?
The ultra running world offers a variety of challenges – from timed events to technical trails and everything in between. A track ultra holds with it a specific beauty – an ultra that can challenge anyone.
For those who’ve done countless ultras, it offers the specific challenge of seeing how fast you can go on a flat, ‘easy’ course. For those who are new to the ultra world or hesitant, it offers the advantage of a clear, simple course with aid every 400m.
For fast and slow runners alike, it offers companionship. You’ll never be far from someone to talk to – or even merely run in companionable silence with.
The SA Track Ultra builds on the foundations of tradition. It draws on the likes of other track events around the country, as well as the history of ultra track events in Adelaide – including a couple of 50/100km national championships!
