About the race
The Noosa Ultra-Trail is a multi‑distance trail running event held in the Noosa region. Courses use the Noosa Trail Network and traverse national parks, state forests, reserves, rural roads and townships, with a mix of trails, tracks and dirt roads and some technical sections around creek crossings and earthworks.
Course options:
- 15 km Forest
- 25 km Cross Country
- 30 km Pomona Sundowner
- 45 km Mountain Marathon
- 50 km Out’N’Back
- 80 km Hinterland Traverse
- 100 km Ultra-Trail
Athlete services are centred on Noosa District Sports Complex, which hosts registration, an information and gear tent, food vendors and venue facilities; the Mountain Marathon finish is at a different location. Shuttle buses operate from accommodation hubs to start areas; there is no parking at the Cootharaba Road start so competitors for some distances must use the shuttle.
Mandatory gear is required for events over marathon distance and includes a mobile phone, rain jacket (if rain predicted), water/electrolyte and nutrition, and a compression bandage. The 80 km and 100 km require additional items such as an approved hi‑vis vest, headlamp and possibly a thermal top. Timing uses disposable transponders on race bibs. Aid stations and checkpoints provide water, Tailwind nutrition and snacks; checkpoint numbers vary by distance. The event is an INDEX race in the UTMB family and maintains a focus on sustainability and participant safety. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
