About the race
The Australian 6 Day Ultra Marathon Festival is a multi-day endurance event held at Thorndon Park in the suburb of Paradise, about 20 km northeast of Adelaide in South Australia. The venue is a scenic public reservoir area that is shared with native koalas, other wildlife, and local walkers.
The festival centres on a six-day event and also incorporates shorter multi-day sub events. Recent editions saw changes in participation patterns; 2023 featured the largest field in many years and an increased presence of international competitors. The event carries a long history within Australian ultrarunning and stages multiple race formats over the same weekend.
Key event elements:
- 6 Day main event
- 72 hour sub event
- 48 hour sub event
The running festival is scheduled for 26th September 2027 and organiser notices indicate registrations for 2027 will open soon. The event also relies on volunteer support to run operational activities during the festival weekend. The setting, event durations, and mixed local and international fields define the character of this multi-day ultrarunning festival. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
