IS IT FOR ME?
Runner or walker, 18 or 80, 1-day or weekend... let's bust the myth that ultra marathons are for elite athletes only
Who can take on an ultra marathon?
Ultra marathons are only for elite endurance runners, experienced in sprinting up snow-topped mountains and crossing vast, barren deserts, right?
Try telling that to our participants! They are mums and dads, nurses and teachers, grandparents and students. They are weekend hikers, post-work yoga masters and two-wheeled commuters. One thing they all share is the belief that more is in them, and with the support of each other along these epic trails, they will make it to the finish!
This challenge will not be easy and it will require a commitment from you to train and prepare for the event, but we believe with enough focus and support, anything is possible.
Ultra marathons are only for serious, elite athletes
Our events are designed to challenge, but when you are struggling up to the top of that hill, we believe it is always better to do it with a smile on your face.
We want our walkers and runners to leave the finish line with an unimaginable sense of achievement and a lifetime of amazing memories!
100 KM?! I don’t have time to train for that!
We won’t lie, training isn’t easy! Juggling family and social life and work is no walk in the park, however, we strive to make your journey as smooth as possible. Above all, you will have an incredible crew and the most incredible community to share the experience and keep you motivated from sign-up to start line.
Training. Where do I start?!
Taking on your first ultra marathon can be daunting… to say the least. However, from sign up to start line we will be with you every step of the way, providing training plans for walkers and runners, tips, and great offers from our partners. You also get access to an incredible Facebook support forum where you can find nearby walkers and runners to help you train, share advice or just share your blister photos!
