Down Under 135 is a highly challenging ultra endurance foot race held in Victoria, Australia, within the Lerderderg State Forest, about 55 km west of Melbourne. Covering 135 miles (220 km) in a single-stage, non-stop format, the race tests participants with rugged single trails and significant elevation gain, including over 6,500 meters of vertical ascent by the halfway point. Known as one of the Southern Hemisphere's toughest races, it offers runners a unique opportunity to push their limits in a demanding natural setting. The course alternates direction, with the 2025 event returning to its original start and finish location at Mackenzie's Flat Picnic Area, Darley.
