Noosa Ultra-Trail welcomes more than 1750 runners from all over Australia from 20-23 March to experience the spectacular Noosa Biosphere Trails located within Noosa Hinterland.
Now firmly established on the Australian trail running calendar, Noosa Ultra-Trail offers runners a choice of six distances, including the Forest 15km, Cross Country 25km, Pomona Sundowner 30km, Out’N’Back 50km, Hinterland Traverse 80km, and the marquee event – the Ultra-Trail 100km.
Event director Nick Stewart said, “We’re excited to have a record field of 1,750 participants come to Noosa for our fourth event.“
“Not only does this make Noosa Ultra-Trail Queensland’s most popular festival style trail run event, but it also ranks us in the top four in Australia. “The support we have had from Tourism & Events Queensland, Queensland Parks & Wildlife, Noosa Council and Tourism Noosa has been great and we’re thrilled to be able to showcase the Noosa Hinterland to runners from all over the world.”
With running globally on a huge growth curve the event attracts some of the best trail runners from across the nation and offers a variety of distances and terrain that appeals to road runners, triathletes, adventure racers, and of course trail runners. The event is a UTMB INDEX level event.
More than 80 per cent of participants come from outside the region to enjoy the festival nature of the weekend with family and friends who can experience the sumptuous food and beverage offerings, shopping, national parks and of course the beach that Noosa is famous for.
As a leader in environmental sustainability practices, and a world recognised Biosphere, Noosa has a number of programs in place to reduce its waste, carbon footprint and impacts on flora and fauna in its national parks.
Noosa Ultra-Trail participants are able to experience the best of Noosa Hinterland, running through the stunning landscape, along quiet country roads and taking in the exquisite charm of towns such as Pomona and Cooran.
The race precinct, located in Tewantin, welcomes runners back to an exciting atmosphere, with international food trucks and well deserved beverages from Noosa Hinterland Brewing Co on offer.
The Noosa Ultra-Trail team look forward to delivering another world class event, continuing to drive sustainable tourism to the Noosa region, and encouraging everyone to experience the challenge and enjoyment of trail running.
