UTAMiler

Govetts Leap Carpark marks the start, sending ultra runners into the Blue Mountains National Park for “the ups, the downs, the challenge and the achievement - life in a day.” The route traverses the Grose Valley, Grand Canyon, Perrys Lookdown, Blue Gum Forest, and Lockleys Pylon. It features cliff tops, lush valleys, and ridgelines that demand effort rather than offering easy miles. Underfoot conditions are primarily single track and wide trails, with established UTA landmarks appearing later: Narrow Neck, Ironpot Ridge, Leura Forest, Wentworth Falls, and Kedumba Pass. The Hydro Majestic Hotel overlooks the Megalong Valley before the course intensifies. After the bushland and escarpment, Furber Steps await: “the most famous set of steps in trail running,” totaling 951, ascending to the finish line at Scenic World.
