About
Black Mountain Road serves as a start line that quickly signals this is not a typical road race. The 60km K2PD Solo and Team Ultra Trail Race travels from Kuranda to Port Douglas, described as an "epic trail-running adventure." The route is designed around the "stunning landscapes of Tropical North Queensland," prioritizing scenery over ease of pace. It embodies the point-to-point ultra format: commit early, find your rhythm, and maintain progress through varied terrain.
Runners will encounter a diverse range of trail surfaces, including "World Heritage rainforests, pine forests, and coastal tracks," alongside extended, demanding sections focused on "testing endurance and resilience." Solo participants tackle the entire distance at once, while relay teams can divide the effort while still experiencing the course's untamed character. The approach to Port Douglas provides a distinct objective, particularly as the landscape transitions from forest to coastal views.
