Paluma Ultra

The Paluma Ultra is a challenging 52km ultramarathon trail run held in the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics region of Paluma Range National Park, Queensland, Australia. The course features diverse terrain including pristine wet tropical rainforest, waterfalls, creek crossings, dry eucalypt forests, and open cattle country. Starting and finishing in the township of Paluma, the route follows historic tin mining and logging trails, offering a mix of technical single tracks and dirt roads with minimal bitumen. Situated at nearly 1000m elevation, the cooler Paluma Range provides ideal running conditions in October. The event includes aid stations, medical support, and post-race festivities, making it a unique and immersive trail running experience.
