Loftys Revenge Ultra Marathon

The Loftys Revenge Ultra Marathon begins on the Linear Park Trail along the River Torrens, starting gently enough to suggest you have the day under control. This is the trap: it lulls you into a false sense of ease before the route heads toward Mt Lofty Summit, posing a much harder question. In spirit, this is a race like no other because it reserves its true challenge for runners who have already committed to the course. Black Hill presents one of Adelaide's toughest climbs, and the final kilometre does not allow for an easy finish. Every runner must navigate Eurilla Track, known as "Gates to Hell," which features a "600m section of 20% gradient" near the conclusion. It attracts runners of all abilities, but no one receives an easy finish; the medal will be very well earned.
