The Cut Ultra

Nerang, Australia • 25 Oct 2025

The Cut Ultra takes place at Nerang Sports Centre, 1 Hope Street, Nerang, Queensland, Australia, on October 25, 2025. It’s a run unlike any other, built around 1.5 km loops with short breaks. After the 10.5 km mark, a cut begins, with 1–5 runners eliminated on each subsequent lap.

Distances are variable, guaranteed to fall between about 10.5 km and up to around 50 km. The atmosphere blends social camaraderie with competition, featuring a concurrent women’s division and dramatic final hot-lap rounds. A stand-alone juniors’ race runs during a lunch break (500 m laps, 2–5 km).

The event includes fundraising and multiple sponsors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
