Event overview

The Great Ocean Trail Ultra is a point-to-point trail running event on the Great Ocean Walk in Victoria, Australia. The 2025 edition is set for Saturday, 25 October 2025, with the start area in Apollo Bay and a changed finish arrangement that now returns runners to Princetown Recreation Reserve (runners still see the Twelve Apostles on course). Field sizes are strictly limited.

Distances:

  • 100 km solo
  • 100 km relay (two-person teams: 55 km + 45 km)
  • 45 km solo

Course and logistics

The event covers the complete Great Ocean Walk, a route that normally takes bushwalkers four to five days to complete. The course surface is approximately 73% singletrack, 20% fire trail or gravel, 5% beach and 2% pavement. It is a wilderness route that runs through Otway forest, along beaches and over headlands.

Organisers enforce strict cut-offs, including a 20-hour overall cutoff. All checkpoint food is vegetarian with vegan options. The race operates as a cupless event. Due to construction at the Twelve Apostles Visitor Information Centre, the finish experience has been adjusted and runners may have the option to camp at Princetown Recreation Reserve.
