Lofty's Revenge 2026

Lofty's Revenge is a trail running event presented by Adelaide Trail Runners on Saturday, June 27th, 2026. Three race distances all finish at Mt Lofty Summit: a 50km Ultra Marathon, a 28km race and a 10km race. The 50km starts at Felixstow Reserve and begins with a mostly flat section along Linear Park beside the River Torrens. The course includes the Aqueduct Trail in Highbury and views of Black Hill.

The 50km has about 1,800 m of elevation gain and is roughly 70% trail and 30% road. The 10km field is limited to 50 runners to reduce congestion on early narrow trails. A one way bus service is provided from Mt Lofty Summit for the longer distances.

A 50km teams event for three person teams is offered and is limited to 30 teams. Team legs:

  • Leg 1: Felixstow to Black Hill, 16.1 km
  • Leg 2: Black Hill to Norton Summit, 19.5 km
  • Leg 3: Norton Summit to Mt Lofty, 14.6 km

Elevation profiles show some variation between mapping platforms. Indicative elevation by platform:
