Get ready to embark on a breathtaking journey along Australia’s most iconic oceanside ultra trail run – the Great Ocean Trail Ultra! Taking place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, this event promises an unforgettable experience as you immerse yourself in the beauty of the Great Ocean Road and the rugged landscapes it winds through.

Event Highlights:
Location: Starting in Apollo Bay and culminating at the world-renowned Twelve Apostles.
Distances:
100km: A challenging yet achievable solo race with tracking.
55/45km: Two-person relay race option.
45km: A new addition to the lineup for those looking to get half wrecked!
Activities: Run the entire Great Ocean Walk in one day, witnessing stunning vistas that usually take days to explore on foot.
Terrain: Expect approximately 73% single-track, 20% fire trail/gravel, 5% beach, and 2% pavement – plus some of the sweetest single-track you’ll ever encounter!

Gear up for a day filled with camaraderie, personal achievements, and breathtaking views as you challenge yourself in the heart of nature. With a limited field size to ensure an intimate experience, the Great Ocean Trail Ultra is not just a race; it’s a celebration of the unique landscapes that define the Great Ocean and Otway regions.

This year, we are proud to partner with the Conservation Ecology Centre and Wildlife Wonders – organisations dedicated to preserving and understanding Australian ecosystems. By participating in the event, you’ll be supporting their vital conservation efforts and contributing to the protection of the environment you’ll be running through.

As you lace up your shoes and prepare to tackle the trails, remember that every step you take is a testament to your commitment to nature and adventure. Join us at the Great Ocean Trail Ultra and be part of a community that values our wild places and the incredible experiences they offer.
