Location: Apollo Bay

Apollo Bay, Australia • 25 Oct 2025

Great Ocean Trail Ultra (GOTU) is Australia’s iconic oceanside trail ultra, running along the Great Ocean Walk from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles on Shipwreck Coast in Victoria. The event offers a 100 km solo race, a 100 km two-person relay (55/45), and a 45 km coastal marathon. Runners traverse mostly singletrack (about 73%), with some fire trail, beaches, and pavement, on a course described as wilderness you can’t see from the road. Organisers emphasize a grassroots, welcoming vibe with vegetarian/vegan checkpoint fare, a cupless format, and strict cutoffs for safety. 2025 finish logistics were adjusted due to construction.
