Ancient rock, roots, and rainforest shape the Brisbane Trail Ultra® before pace becomes a consideration. This is an ultra runner’s race in the dirt, defined by the phrase: "Race through ancient rock, roots, and rainforest." It also holds the distinction of being "host of the Golden Trail National Series Final – Australia," making it more than just a long day with a bib.
The course demands constant attention underfoot: navigating rock, lifting over roots, and moving through rainforest sections where rhythm is key. The participants are the ultra crew, runners who appreciate a challenging trail as the main objective. The unique draw is the blend of wild terrain and a field that fully understands the commitment involved.
