Felixstow Reserve offers a gentle start to the long course, rolling almost flat through Linear Park alongside the River Torrens before the race begins to challenge participants. The Lofty's Revenge Ultra Marathon is a demanding trail running event focused on “lesser-known roads and trails,” with Mt Lofty Summit serving as the ultimate destination.
Expect a course that is 70% trail and 30% road. The Aqueduct Trail in Highbury, featuring “breathtaking views of Black Hill,” is a significant part of the route. The course leads runners towards Foxfield Oval, Athelstone, and the summit finish, where both solo runners and relay teams receive the same reward: a triumphant finish at the summit.
