Campbelltown Athletics Track at Campbelltown Sports Centre defines this race: lap after lap on “Australia's newest all weather 400m Synthetic Track,” with nowhere to hide and ample room to settle into the work. Now in its 6th running, Lighthorse Ultra is a track ultra for runners who understand that flat does not mean easy.
The course is simple in layout and demanding in practice: a measured synthetic oval, repeated until your pacing, patience, and headspace matter more than scenery. Ultra runners are the audience here, so expect a field that respects quiet effort, crew routines, and the honesty of seeing the finish line every lap. The weekend format packs “5 races over the 2 days,” including an evening marathon, which gives the meet a track-ultra feel rather than a one-race procession.
