Kangaroobie Base Camp Ultra Relay

Kangaroobie Base Camp Ultra Relay

The Kangaroobie Base Camp Ultra Relay is a two day trail running relay held on private land near Princetown. Teams of four or more share running legs on three distinct trail circuits that cross farmland and native bush with the Southern Ocean and the 12 Apostles coast as a backdrop. The overall event distance is 216+ km and the format includes a dedicated graveyard shift and repeated returns to a central base camp between runs.

Runners do separate laps rather than run together, and teammates provide logistical and moral support from camp between their legs. The event schedule uses a looped structure with multiple short circuits; one account describes runners completing each loop twice during the event. Overnight camp life includes resting, eating, basic washing and regrouping between running turns.

The event is organised by the Princetown Institute of Sport as a not-for-profit activity intended to provide accessible opportunities to participate in outdoor competitive sport. The organisers acknowledge the Eastern Maar people as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which the event is held and pay respect to their Elders past and present.
