Kangaroobie Base Camp Ultra Relay

Princetown, Australia • 9-10 May 2026

Event overview

Kangaroobie Base Camp Ultra Relay is a two-day trail running relay held on private land near Princetown, Victoria. The event covers 216+ km over three distinct trails that run across farmland and through bushland, with the Southern Ocean and the 12 Apostles coast forming the backdrop. The format includes one graveyard shift as part of the race program.

Format and organiser

Racing is team-based, for teams of four or more. Runners complete repeated looped legs rather than running together as a full team. Example loop distances used in past editions include:

  • 6 km
  • 9 km
  • 12 km

The event is organised by the Princetown Institute of Sport, a not-for-profit group that developed the relay following experience running the Kangaroobie Klassic. The organiser describes the event as emphasising repeated returns to a central base camp and a mix of longer overall distance with fewer disciplines and more transitions compared with their other events.
