Solo and Teams

How the 24hr, 10hr and 5hrWorks – Solos, Teams, Families

So you’ve signed up for the Sunshine Coast Ultra – awesome choice! Whether you’re going it alone as a solo legend or sharing the adventure in a pair, team or family, here’s the lowdown on how the laps roll.

✨Not Your Usual Ultra….

This one’s got a twist! Unlike a Backyard Ultra, you’re not out if you miss a lap. 🙌

Here’s the key differences:

You can run it solo, or mix it up in a pair or team or family with a relay-style format. One runner on the course at a time.
Need a breather? No worries. If you choose to sit out a lap – or don’t make it back within the hour – you’re not eliminated.
Just jump back in on a later lap and keep adding to your tally.

It’s all about how many laps you and your crew can stack up over 24, 10 or 5 hours, with plenty of freedom to run it your way.

🔔 The Start Line Buzz

Every lap kicks off on the hour – and when the hooter sounds, it’s game on!

1 Minute rule: Once the hooter goes, you’ve got 1 minute to cross the start line. You must have checked in before starting. Miss it, and that lap is a no-go but you can jump back into the race on the next start.

Before the start of each lap the following warnings will be sounded:

3-minute whistle (3 blasts): Time to head to the start line.
2-minute whistle (2 blasts): Check in with the officials.
1-minute whistle (1 blast): Last call – get ready to run!

🏁 The Finish Line

To make your lap count, you need to cross the finish line before the clock passes 59:59.

If you’re late, that lap doesn’t count – but don’t stress, you can still head out again on the next lap that starts after you’ve finished.
Complete your lap in time, and it goes towards your tally. Easy!

👟 Solos vs Teams

Solos: You’re the hero of your own story – just you and the trails for 24, 10 oe 5 hours. Every lap is yours to conquer.
Pairs & Teams: Think of it as a tag-team adventure!
Only one runner is out on the course at a time, while the rest of the crew chill, cheer, or refuel. (No coaches, pacers, or tag-alongs though – this one’s all yours!)
You’ll all share a single race number, so don’t forget to hand it over at each lap change.
The fun part? The strategy’s totally up to you – swap out for short, speedy bursts, take turns on longer stints, or mix it up to keep things interesting.

👟 The 10hr Ultra – Your Adventure, Your Way

Not everyone wants to run their 10 hours the same way, so we’ve given you two options.

🌞 5hr + 5hr Format

Break your challenge into two fun-filled sessions. Run 5 hours on Saturday afternoon, then come back refreshed for another 5 hours on Sunday morning.

Saturday: Midday start with the final lap commencing at 4pm.
Sunday: 7am start with the final lap commencing at 11am.

🌙 10hrs Straight Format

Prefer to embrace the magic of the night? Start at 2am Sunday and run right through sunrise, with your final lap commencing at 11am.

Whichever path you choose, you’ll compete in the same overall 10hr Ultra category, with prizes awarded across both formats.

The challenge is the same. The experience is different. The choice is yours.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Fun Category – 5hr

Want to share the adventure with the whole crew? The Family Fun Category is designed just for you! Families can enter with up to 5 runners from the same family and take the 5hr in a fun relay-style format – perfect for younger runners (and those young at heart).

Here’s how it works:

At least 8 years of age: May join the fun, but must be accompanied on the course by a designated parent or guardian (18+), who is also part of the family team.
At least 10 years of age: Can run the 5k lap unaccompanied.

The best part? You can run as many laps as you like or simply sit some out, relax, and soak up the atmosphere at Race HQ. It’s all about fun, teamwork, and creating unforgettable memories together on the trails.

🏆 The Victory Formula

It’s simple: the most laps in the shortest overall time wins. Solos, pairs, or teams – whoever stacks them up best takes the glory.

Whether you’re chasing personal bests, swapping laps with your mates, or just seeing how far you can go, the 24, 10 or 5hr Ultra is all about challenge, fun, and plenty of trail-time stories to take home.

Wild Card Laps

It’s Trail running… reimagined 🎲

Introducing WILDCARD LAPS — a brand-new feature of the Trail Run Australia Sunshine Coast, designed to bring extra energy and memorable moments.

Throughout the 24 hours, selected laps will feature unique themes, challenges and experiences. Some Wildcard Laps will lift the energy. Some will bring the fun. Some will simply help create those unforgettable moments that only happen during a 24-hour event.

Wild Card Laps are Completely Optional

And the best part? They’re completely optional. If you’re here to race hard, chase laps and stay focused, absolutely go for it — nothing changes. But if you’d like to lean into the atmosphere and festival vibe along the way, the Wildcard Laps will be there whenever you’re ready.

Collect Wild Card Tokens and go in the Draw to WIN a Polar Watch at Prize Giving

There’s also something extra waiting for those who get involved 👀

By taking part in selected Wildcard Laps, runners can earn BONUS TOKENS throughout the event. Every token collected goes into the draw at Sunday’s prize giving to WIN a major prize — a POLAR WATCH ⌚🔥

So whether you’re chasing a podium, chasing laps or simply chasing an unforgettable weekend with your mates, the Wildcard Laps are another way to become part of the experience.

Stay tuned for our ALL NEW Wild Card Laps for the November 2026 event.

🎡 THE WHEEL OF DESTINY 🎡

At the start of every lap, the Wheel of Destiny will decide the direction of the course… ⏰

Will it be CLOCKWISE? Or ANTI-CLOCKWISE? 👀

Nobody knows until the wheel spins.

Same trails. Same challenge. Completely different feel. One moment you’re flying down your favourite section… the next you’re climbing it instead 😂🌲

And then there’s the GOLD section on the wheel… ✨ Spin that and… well… you’ll have to wait until race day to find out what happens 😏

Let’s just say it might make things VERY interesting.

It’s all part of what makes Trail Run Australia Sunshine Coast 24hr so much more than just another endurance event — keeping every lap fresh, every spin exciting and the whole Race HQ buzzing right through the night 🔥

Same course. Same 24 hours. Just a completely different kind of experience. 🎲

Tents at HQ

TENTS AT RACE HQ: Welcome to your 24hr Base Camp

The venue on the banks of Ewen Maddock Dam is honestly a pretty special place to spend 24 hours. The venue owners SEQ Water have very kindly trusted us with this amazing venue and, to help us keep bringing events like this back into the future, there are just a couple of simple venue rules we all need to be aware of:

🚫 Race HQ is a Vehicle-Free but Tent Friendly Zone

🚫 No camping is permitted onsite

🚫 No cars, caravans, camper trailers or vehicles are permitted within the Race HQ Area

🚫 No fires, cookers or BBQ’s are permitted

Build Your Home Away From Home at Race HQ

You can absolutely create your own ultra-running home away from home. Tents, athlete hangout zones, recovery nests, and general “I’m definitely not quitting” setups are all welcome throughout the Race HQ and finish shute area.

Tents can be set up anywhere along the entire length of the finish shute except at the all important finish line. Signage on the day will indicate any areas that are ‘No Go’ areas for tents

Drop & Go Zone…

To make life easy, we’ll also have a handy little “Drop & Go Zone” at the entrance to Race HQ where you can unload all your gear before parking your car in the designated parking area.

So the plan is basically:

🚗 Drop your gear
🏕️ Build your 24hr base
🏃 Run laps
🌙 Make questionable decisions at 2am
😂 Promise yourself “just one more lap” at least 24 times
☀️ Watch the sunrise wondering how this somehow became fun again

Equipment

What Do I Need to Bring to have a Safe and Enjoyable Event?

COMPULSORY EQUIPMENT
ITEM	DETAILS	WHY IS THIS COMPULSORY?
Enclosed Running Shoe	A trail running shoe is preferable as they provide grip, protection and drainage	To protect your feet from rough, jagged, rocky and uneven terrain.
Race Number	Make Sure We See You Shine! Your race number is your trail badge of honour—and it needs to be visible at all times! Please wear it on the front of your torso, over your outermost layer (not on your leg or pants), and make sure it’s not covered by straps or clothing. This helps our timing team catch every second of your awesome run. Let’s Get You Attached You’ve got options! Safety pins will be available at registration, or if you prefer, pop your number on a race belt. Don’t have one yet? No worries—you can grab a Trail Run Australia belt online or swing by the merch store at Race HQ. Respect the Chip! Your race number comes with a built-in timing chip on the back, so please don’t fold, bend, or pierce it. We want to make sure we catch every epic kilometre you conquer—because every step counts!	Why Your Race Number Matters Your race number is included in your race pack and isn’t just for show—it’s how we track your incredible effort out on the course! It’s linked to your timing chip, so we can accurately record your splits and finish time, and it also helps our team (and your cheer squad!) know exactly who you are. Whether you're flying through the forest or crossing the finish line with a smile, your number makes sure every moment counts.
Water Bottle, Collapsable Cup or Hydration Pack	Bring That Bottle or Hydration Pack – Your Body Will Thank You! Hydration is everything out on the trails! When you’re running, sweating, and pushing your limits, your body needs regular top-ups to keep going strong. Carrying a water bottle means you can sip as you go, stay ahead of dehydration, and avoid an unwanted detour to the medical tent. We want to see you smiling at the finish line—not sidelined! Plus, a heads-up—there’ll be no plastic cups at Race HQ. If you want to fill up at the water station, you’ll need to bring your own bottle, flask, or hydration pack. Drink early, drink often, and BYO bottle—your body (and the planet) will thank you! 💚
Head Torch/Torch	COMPULSORY for all overnight laps. Torches must be carried from Lap 6 at 5pm until Lap 19 at 6am (inclusive)	Great idea to be able to see where you're going in the dark!
Hydration and Nutriition	This event is designed as a largely self-sufficient format, so participants will need to manage their own hydration and nutrition requirements throughout the event. 1. To help keep everyone topped up along the way, there will be: A water trailer available at Race HQ 2. A small Finish Line Aid Station with water, quick snacks and nutrition products for a fast refill between laps. And of course, the legends from SMEAC will have the Camp Kitchen fired up across the weekend Please see the Catering section for menu details and operating times.	Hydration and nutrition are incredibly personal, and what works brilliantly for one runner may not for another We strongly recommend arriving well prepared with the hydration, nutrition and race fuel you know works best for you for the duration of the event. It’s also important to note that due to SEQ Water regulations, no fires, BBQs or personal cooking equipment are permitted within the event area — but don’t worry, the SMEAC Camp Kitchen will have you covered

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
ITEM	DETAILS
Mobile Phone	For the best coverage on course, Telstra is your best bet. Before race day, make sure you’re good to go: - Download the I2A Event App and set up your account. It’s your go-to for emergency contact numbers and important updates. - Charge your phone fully. Mobile coverage is generally pretty good on the course. Even in patchy spots, a good old text message will usually get through—and heading to a higher point will boost your signal even more.
Sun Protection	Don’t Let the Sun Steal Your Thunder!☀️🧢🕶️ The Sunshine Coast lives up to its name, and those rays can get intense—especially out on the trails. A little sun protection goes a long way in keeping you safe, cool, and smiling all the way to the finish line. So be sun smart! Slip on a hat! Slop on some sunscreen! Slap on those sunnies!
A Warm Layer	Don’t Forget a Cuddly Layer! Sure, it’s the Sunshine Coast and things heat up quickly during the day—but early mornings and late afternoons can still throw a little chill your way. Bring a warm layer along to Race HQ so you can stay comfy before the start or after you cross that finish line.
A Waterproof Layer	Sunshine? Mostly. Showers? Maybe! It’s called the Sunshine Coast for a reason—but even paradise gets the occasional splash of rain. Packing a lightweight waterproof layer means you’ll be ready if the skies decide to open up. You’ll stay (mostly) dry, a whole lot more comfortable, and way more focused on the fun. Rain or shine, we’re hitting those trails—so come prepared to embrace it all!
Clothing to suit the weather conditions on the day	Dress for the Day – Trail Style! 🏃‍♂️🌦️ Think layers you can peel off or pop on as needed, breathable fabrics that keep you cool, and gear that dries fast will be perfect for the day. Be comfy, be prepared, and dress smart—because the right running kit can make all the difference between a good run and a great one!
A Tent to set up at Race HQ	Claim Your Spot – Bring a Tent! ⛺🌞 Race HQ is where all the buzz happens—and as no vehicles are permitted in the Race HQ area, having your own tent setup is a must! Whether you're flying solo or bringing the whole crew, a small tent or shade shelter gives you a comfy base to relax, rehydrate, and cheer each other on between laps. There will be some communal shelter available at the BBQ area and under the In2Adventure star tent—but if you want your own space, bringing a small pop-up (up to 3m x 3m) is a great idea. Planning something bigger? No problem! Just shoot us an email in advance to let us know, so we can make sure there’s room for you and your team to set up without a hitch.
Insect Repellant	Don’t Let the Bugs Crash Your Race! 🦟🧴 With all that beautiful rainforest comes a few uninvited guests—yep, we’re talking mozzies and midges!
Body Lubricant	Chafing is no joke! A good quality body lubricant can be your best friend out on the course—keeping you comfortable, chafe-free, and moving strong from start to finish. Pack it, apply it, and thank yourself later!
Spare Socks	Happy feet = happy race! Wet, muddy, or sweaty socks can quickly lead to blisters and bad vibes. Packing a spare pair of socks gives your feet a fresh start when they need it most—especially if the course throws a few surprises your way
Small First Aid Kit	🩹 While we’ve got first aid legends at Race HQ and out on the course, a little personal kit can go a long way. Got a hot spot? A rogue blister? A scratch from that “friendly” bush? Having a few basics—like bandaids, antiseptic wipes, or tape—means you can patch yourself up and power on like a pro.

HYDRATION & HEAT STROKE

Heat Stroke is a serious medical emergency and a life threatening condition which can result in death.

Heatstroke is a condition in which your body overheats and can no longer maintain a healthy temperature. Heatstroke occurs when your body temperature rises from about 37°C to above 40°C.

Heatstroke needs immediate first aid to lower your body temperature as quickly as possible. If not, it can lead to organ damage and death. The risk of death increases the hotter you get and the longer you are overheated.

Heatstroke is caused by prolonged exposure to heat. It can occur when your body absorbs more heat than it can get rid of by sweating.

You can get heatstroke if you work or exercise in hot conditions without good air flow and if you don’t drink enough water.

What are the symptoms of heatstroke?

If you have heatstroke, you will usually not be sweating. Your skin may be red, hot and dry.

Heat exhaustion is a milder heat-related illness that can lead to heatstroke if not treated, so it’s important to recognise the symptoms early. If you have heat exhaustion, you will usually be sweating a lot, and have pale, cool, damp skin.

Other symptoms of heat exhaustion include:

dizziness and weakness
headache
nausea or vomiting
rapid pulse and fast, shallow breathing
muscle cramps (known as heat cramps)
fainting
feeling restless and anxious
heat rash

If heat exhaustion turns into heatstroke, you may notice these additional symptoms:

sudden rise in body temperature
dry, swollen tongue
intense thirst
slurred speech
problems coordinating movements
aggressive or strange behaviour
seizures
confusion and loss of consciousness

Dehydration and heat exhaustion are milder heat-related illnesses. They can lead to heatstroke if they’re not treated.

How can I prevent heatstroke?

Drink plenty of water, even if you’re not thirsty. Avoid alcohol and hot or sugary drinks.
Keep cool — try to avoid direct sun and wear lightweight, loose cotton clothing.
Wear a hat and take water.

What should I do if someone has heat stroke?

Heatstroke is a medical emergency. If someone has heatstroke, call triple zero (000) and ask for an ambulance.

While you are waiting for the ambulance, try to cool them down in any way you can.

Give them sips of cool fluid if they are conscious.
Lay them in a cool shady place.
Remove excess clothing.
Sponge or spray them with cool water or cover them with wet towels or clothing and fan their damp skin.
Put them in cool water or a cool shower.
Place cold packs on their cheeks, palms and soles.
If they are unconscious, place them on their side with their mouth down and their chin up. You may need to do CPR.
Do not give aspirin, ibuprofen or paracetamol to someone with heatstroke.

Presentations

PRESENTATIONS & PRIZES

Presentations will take place at approximately 12:30pm on Sunday afternoon. The crew from SMEAC will be cooking up a storm on the BBQ so it’ll be a great time to catch up and share war stories with you’re mates.

PRIZES

Full details coming published soon

Prize and Medallion Presentations

Participants must be present in person at prize giving to collect category prizes and/or spot prizes. It is not possible for athletes to collect medals and prizes before prize giving as due consideration has to be given for potential protests and often times placings are only determined once the final finisher in each category has crossed the line. Unfortunately due to past circumstances, it is also not possible for medals or prizes to be collected by other persons in the recipients absence.

Requesting Medallions and Prizes After The Event

After the event medallions and prizes may be requested to be sent to participants. Please see details here.

Mud Rats

FREE Kids Mud Rats Event – Sunday 12:15pm – Register Online

The mud rats is a free, short, fun, non-competitive event for our Kids aged 5 to 9 years. If there are any Mud Rats under 5 (for run) who would like to take part they must be accompanied by an adult (over 18 years of age) around the course.

The course is a short, fun circuit around HQ, usually around 100-400m.

Register Online

Although this is a free event, participants will be required to register online before the event and complete Parental Consent Form.

After completing the online registration please visit the Race HQ tent at any time prior to the Mud Rats run to collect your mud rats tag.

Safety

Safety & First Aid

Your safety is a key consideration; however, trail running events do involve risk. Dedicated first aiders are on hand at Race HQ and on the course to assist where necessary.

3 SAFETY RULES

Stop and assist any competitor that is in need of emergency assistance.
Report any incident to the next available marshal or emergency radio point on the course.
Compete within your abilities.

On the course there are a number of things you can do to assist yourselves and fellow competitors:

Slow down in steep or technically challenging areas.
Run on the left hand side of tracks.
Compete within your limits.
Let common sense and courtesy prevail. We want to see you safe and sound at the end of the event.

FIRST AID

First Aid will be located at Race HQ and at manned check points on the course. Please check the course map in the Athletes Guide or at Race HQ for locations

CHECK POINTS

There are check points on the course, staffed by First Aid Qualified team members. These are marked on the course map.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION

In the event of fire or other emergency, follow instructions from event officials. On the course marshals will direct you back to the Evacuation Meeting Point at HQ. Please follow instructions from Emergency Personnel and/or event officials.

YOUR SAFETY IS OUR CONCERN AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

Rules

Race Rules

A fun, fair and safe event always includes a few race rules. Please take some time to read the race rules below and follow them throughout the event — it’s all about looking out for each other and making sure the race runs smoothly.

Please make sure you’re familiar with them before you hit the start line as “I didn’t know” won’t fly — breaking the rules could lead to time penalties or disqualification, and we definitely don’t want that for anyone.

Check out the Race Rules here

FAQ’s

Why Have Compulsory Equipment?

As Event Organisers we are often asked why ‘Compulsory Equipment’ is included as part of some of our races. The simple answer to this question is that it’s about keeping participants safe, which is the number one priority in any decision making related to our events.

Compulsory Equipment lists are developed by the event team and experts in the area based on a number of factors. These include, but are not limited to:

The general weather conditions in the area;
Duration and distance of the course;
Technical difficulty of the course;
Event terrain;
The remoteness of the event course;
Time to emergency response;
Time to hospital/medical services;
Expected participants skill level; and
Weather conditions on the day.

Compulsory equipment lists are developed based on what we believe is the minimum to keep our participants safe and well if they are delayed for any reason during the event.

Most times compulsory equipment won’t be needed during an event, however in the case where participants may find themselves injured, immobilised or exhausted, especially in poor weather conditions, then the compulsory equipment will aid survival until rescue can be actioned.

We are often asked why participants do not have the option to just take the gear that they think they require, and in an ideal world, this would be great, however, we don’t live in a world where we are able to know every person’s skills, knowledge and experience and their capacity to know and understand what the potential dangers could be.

Instead, we choose to use the experience, knowledge and expertise of those who are highly qualified in this area and have extensive knowledge of the local conditions to guide this decision making.

Another important aspect of an event is ensuring that it is fair for everyone participating. A compulsory equipment list means that each person is carrying the same gear as every other participant and that is why random gear checks are often carried out during events to ensure that the participant has everything they need to stay safe and that everyone is taking part in the spirit of the event.

How Old Do I Have To Be To Race?

The minimum ages for each race distance are shown on the Entry Tab.

Ages for entry and race categories are calculated as of the 31st December each summer (middle of the race season).

Can I Enter On The Day?

If you miss the entry closure at 5pm Wednesday prior to the event, late online entries are open until 30 minutes before the close of registration on the day.

Late entries are accepted online only.

View Full Late Online Entry Information on the Entry Tab.

Do I Need A Licence To Race?

No licence or club membership is required to take part in this event.

Do I Need A Support Crew?

No! A support crew is not allowed for Half Marathon competitors and is not necessary or required for Ultra competitors.

We do however recommend bringing the whole family along to cheer you on and enjoy what the area has to offer.

Can I Carry A Music Device?

Competitors are permitted to wear personal audio equipment whilst taking part in the event.

However all competitors must have one ear clear at all times so that you can hear other runners, other trail users and approaching vehicles. You must switch off music as you approach and pass Course Marshals so that you can hear any directions given to you, you must switch off music when travelling on all public roads/footpaths so you can hear approaching traffic and other users. So while you may use iPods/Music players, it is up to you to use them in a safe manner so that you remain aware of your surroundings and things happening around you at all times.

This is for safety reasons to ensure that runners can be alert to their environment and ensure it is an enjoyable experience for all involved.

Course Info

24Hr

24hr Ultra | Midday Saturday – Midday Sunday

The Trail Run Australia 24hr Ultra is the ultimate test of endurance, strategy and trail spirit — designed to challenge seasoned ultrarunners while remaining flexible, social and incredibly rewarding. Starting at midday Saturday, runners take on a 5km trail lap every hour on the hour, with 59:59 to complete each circuit before the next lap begins.

There are no eliminations. Miss a lap, take a rest, refuel with your crew, then jump back in when you’re ready. The goal is simple: complete as many laps as possible within the 24-hour window, with final placings determined by total laps and overall time.

Athletes register on Saturday morning prior to the event start, with Race HQ becoming your basecamp for the full 24 hours — a vibrant hub of support crews, food, music and trail community energy from start to finish.

Run solo, in pairs, or as part of a team of 4 or 6 runners, and tackle the event your way — steady, strategic, social or competitive. Whether you’re chasing a personal milestone, a podium finish, or simply the experience of running through day, dusk, night and sunrise, the 24hr Ultra is an unforgettable journey on the trails.

10Hr (5+5)

10hr Ultra (5hr + 5hr)

Why run 10 hours straight when you can enjoy the best of both worlds?

The 10hr Ultra (5+5) is a unique format designed for runners who want to experience the challenge, atmosphere and achievement of the 24hr Ultra without being on course all night. Split your adventure across two action-packed sessions and enjoy the energy of Race HQ between runs.

Start your journey on Saturday afternoon before returning fresh and ready to tackle the second half on Sunday morning.

Each hour, on the hour, you’ll join the 24hr runners on the same scenic 5km trail loop. You’ll have 59 minutes and 59 seconds to complete each lap before the next one begins. Your challenge is simple: complete all 10 designated laps in the fastest cumulative time possible.

The best part? There are no eliminations. Need a break? Take one. Miss a lap? No problem. Relax at Race HQ, cheer on fellow runners, soak up the festival atmosphere, then jump back in when your next designated lap starts.

Whether you’re chasing your first ultra-distance achievement, building toward longer endurance events, or simply looking for an unforgettable weekend on the trails, the 10hr Ultra (5+5) delivers the perfect blend of challenge, community and fun.

Run it solo, with a partner, or as part of a team of four and discover why Trail Run Australia 24hr Ultra is more than just a race — it’s a trail running festival unlike any other.

Event Schedule

Sunday

Register: 1:15am
Start: 2:00am
Final lap commences: 11:00am
Finish: Midday

Each hour, on the hour, you’ll tackle the same scenic 5km trail loop, with 59 minutes and 59 seconds to complete each lap before the next one begins. Your challenge is simple: complete as manyof the 10 laps as possible in the fastest cumulative time possible.

The format rewards consistency, pacing and determination. As the night gives way to dawn and the energy at Race HQ builds, every lap brings you closer to the finish and the satisfaction of completing one of the event’s most unique endurance challenges.

Like all Trail Run Australia 24hr Ultra events, there are no eliminations. Need a break? Take one. Miss a lap? That’s okay. Rest, recover and rejoin when you’re ready. The goal is to challenge yourself, enjoy the journey and be part of an unforgettable trail running experience.

Perfect for runners preparing for longer ultras, chasing a personal endurance milestone or looking to test themselves in a supportive and welcoming environment, the 10hr Ultra (10 Straight) delivers all the atmosphere, camaraderie and achievement of an overnight ultra in a single epic morning.

5Hr

5hr Challenge | Sunday Morning | Start 7am

Whether you’re stepping up in distance, chasing a new personal milestone or simply keen to be part of the action, this event delivers five hours of pure trail fun.

Athletes register on Sunday morning from 6:00am, with the event starting at 7:00am. From there, runners head out on the same 5km lap used throughout the 24hr event, joining the festival atmosphere as the overnight runners push toward the final stages of their journey.

Complete as many laps as you can within the five-hour window — run, rest, refuel and go again. It’s your challenge, your pace and your experience.

With sunrise on the trails, buzzing Race HQ energy, and the excitement building toward the final hours of the 24hr Ultra, the 5hr Challenge is an ideal introduction to trail endurance and an unforgettable way to be part of the weekend.

5k Fun Run

5km Finale | Sunday | Start 11am

Registration opens Sunday from 10:00am, with the 5km start at 11:00am — just minutes after the 24hr, 10hr and 5hr runners head out for their final push. You’ll take on the same scenic 5km trail loop, running alongside exhausted, elated and determined ultrarunners as they complete their journey.

It’s fun, inclusive and perfect for first-timers, supporters, families and anyone wanting to soak up the atmosphere without committing to the longer formats.

Cross the finish line as the crowd builds, the music lifts and the entire trail community comes together to celebrate an incredible 24 hours of running.

Finish Line Aid Station

While this event is designed as a largely self-sufficient format where athletes manage their own hydration and nutrition throughout the race, we’ll still have a Finish Line Aid Station available at Race HQ if you need a quick top up at the finish of the lap

💧 Top up water will be available from the water trailer at Race HQ throughout the event

🥤 FIXX Fuel X Tropical Fruits will also be available, with bags and scoops ready so you can refill your own bottles before heading back out onto the course.

🍬There’ll also be a few lollies and small snacks floating around to help keep spirits high during the long hours out on course 😊

Some companion animals are trained to provide assistance to people with a disability to help alleviate the effect of that disability. These assistance animals are not pets. They provide an important service that helps people to more fully participate in personal and public life activities with more confidence and independence.
