2024 Australia Day Ultra Marathon

Campbelltown Athletics Track at Campbelltown Sports Centre is the entire world for this event: lane lines, floodlights, and "Australia's newest all weather 400m Synthetic Track" under your feet. This marks the 6th Southern Sydney Track Ultra, and the main race also serves as the "Australian 24 Hour Track National Championship", giving it the focused seriousness of a track ultra instead of a festival atmosphere. The course is straightforward in the most demanding way: laps on a synthetic track, with no external factors to blame, only rhythm and pacing. Ultra runners are drawn to this type of race because it is quantifiable, open, and direct, with options ranging from the main overnight effort to an evening marathon. The unique aspect is the format: at Leumeah, you return to the same starting line repeatedly until the race concludes.
