Brisbane Trail Ultra

The Brisbane Trail Ultra program features a 160.5 km trail race with 7,580 metres of climbing. The series takes place in early July in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, offering six trail distances: 10.3 km, 20.2 km, 30.6 km, 61.7 km, 111.9 km, and 160.5 km. It is also a UTMB Index Race, allowing runners to use it for UTMB-related qualification and indexing. The shorter races include significant climbing: the 10.3 km has 290 metres of gain, the 20.2 km has 640 metres, and the 30.6 km has 820 metres. The longer ultras increase the challenge substantially, with 2,060 metres in the 61.7 km, 4,880 metres in the 111.9 km, and 7,580 metres in the 160.5 km Ultra 100 mile. The previous edition saw over 500 runners in the 100-mile race, more than 300 in both the 111.9 km and 61.7 km races, and over 200 in the 30.6 km, indicating a wide range of participants beyond a small ultra-specific group.
