65km Ultra +2743m - Saturday 16th of august 2025 - 6:00AM

Transcend - Rise Above & Go Beyond

A person's need to run quickly over both short and long distances is as old as humankind. To be fast helped us to survive, to catch an animal for food, to escape from danger and natural catastrophes, to be successful in war or, as in the case of the first marathon, to take messages. And where did this hunter, warrior, messenger live? Probably somewhere in the hilly countryside. There were no roads, no tunnels to avoid the mountains, no bridges to cross rivers.  They had to run over hills, over mountains, through forests, across rivers as fast as they could.  They were not running for medals, or money, or trophies or glory, it was running to survive! Today this need is no longer necessary, but it is bred into us, a desire to run in nature and over challenging landscapes.


The 65km Ultra is the full experience of the Avon Valley, traversing its whole entirety. The course takes you from the culturaly rich Whadjuk land Walyunga National Park, up to Mt Mambup in Jumbuck Regional Park, down into Bells Rapids and up Bells Falls, through the Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary and Avon Valley National Park until you reach your finishing destination in Ballardong land, Cobbler Pool near Toodyay. 


We provide aid stations approximately every 12-16km to provide plenty of opportunity to refuel. We also allow ~13 min/km for you to finish the course (14 hours). All participants must keep ahead of aid station cut off times and be at the finish line before 8:00pm.   


Please note that ~50% of this course is on private land and for that reason can not be completed for training in the lead up or post the event. So you can have the opportunity to complete this course we have had extensive negotiations with the following list plus a number of other relevant organisations. If you ignore this message you will jeopardise our ability to host this event in future years, stopping people from achieving the same experience we want you to have.
