Run Larapinta Stage Race 2026

Run Larapinta is a four-day trail running event on the Larapinta Trail in the MacDonnell Ranges near Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. It takes place in August and is limited to 200 participants, making it a select field for a large-scale race rather than a crowded event. The course crosses desert trails through the red centre, with the long ridgelines of the MacDonnell Ranges defining much of the landscape. Runners travel from across Australia and represent various speeds and trail experiences, contributing to the event's shared-adventure atmosphere alongside its competitive aspect.
