About the race
The Noosa Ultra-Trail is a multi-distance trail running event held on the Noosa Trail Network and surrounding hinterland, with the main venue at Noosa District Sports Complex. Courses run through national parks, state forests, reserves and rural areas, with varied terrain that includes trails, 4WD tracks, dirt roads and some technical sections.
There are seven course options:
- Forest 15 km
- Cross Country 25 km
- Pomona Sundowner 30 km
- Mountain Marathon 45 km
- Out'N'Back 50 km
- Hinterland Traverse 80 km
- Ultra-Trail 100 km
Longer events (45 km and above) require mandatory gear carried by competitors. Mandatory items listed for ultra distances include a mobile phone, rain jacket if rain is predicted, water/electrolyte and nutrition, and a compression bandage; the 80 km and 100 km also require an approved hi-vis vest, headlamp and thermal top subject to conditions. Aid stations and checkpoints supply water, Tailwind nutrition and some snacks; checkpoint counts vary by distance. Drop bags are available for 50 km, 80 km and 100 km runners and are managed at designated checkpoints.
The event operates shuttle bus transfers between accommodation hubs and start locations, and provides an information and gear tent, timing transponders on race bibs, medical personnel at checkpoints and on-course trail markers. Organisers emphasise athlete safety, course signage, road crossing caution and environmental sustainability. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
