Great North Walk Ultras 2022 2026

The Great North Walk Ultras features a 50K race in Australia, beginning at Patonga Beach with a measured distance of 50.30 kilometers. As a UTMB Index race, runners can apply their result to their UTMB profile. The course demands true trail running ability, featuring 1,499 meters of elevation gain over its distance. The field size fosters a dedicated ultrarunning atmosphere, distinct from a large road race; the 50K recorded 60 finishers. Josef McGrath topped the results at 4:41:46, with Morgan Lindqvist from Sweden following in 4:50:56 and Dominic Perry in 4:51:49. The final list included participants from Australia, Sweden, China, and the United Kingdom, alongside age-group competitors like Cecily Butler in the women’s 45-49 category.
