Surf Coast Century

The Surf Coast Century begins and ends in Anglesea, located on Victoria's Surf Coast within the Great Ocean Road region. This trail ultra offers both 50 km and 100 km distances, welcoming solo participants and relay teams. Held annually in September, its core identity is straightforward: a substantial day crossing coastal paths, distinct from road ultras or mountain races. The route guides participants beneath sea cliffs, across secluded beaches, through heathlands abundant with wildflowers, and alongside Bells Beach. RunGuides characterizes it as swift, approachable, and minimally technical, contributing to its appeal for both seasoned ultra-runners and individuals undertaking their initial ultra. The convenience of a single start and finish point simplifies logistics compared to point-to-point events. The race is known as The Feel Good Ultra, and its conclusion includes distinct traditions: runners often hear the finish line before seeing it, after which they may ring a gong and receive a stein.
