Great Ocean Trail Ultra
The Great Ocean Trail Ultra is a point-to-point trail running event along the Great Ocean Walk on Victoria’s Shipwreck Coast in Australia. The course runs largely on singletrack and passes coastal and Otway Ranges wilderness, with a turnaround near the Twelve Apostles and a finish at the Princetown Recreation Reserve for 2026. The turnaround section to the Twelve Apostles is approximately 5 km out and 5 km back.
Distances:
- 100 km solo
- 100 km relay team of two (55/45 split)
- 45 km coastal marathon
The route surface is roughly 73% singletrack, 20% fire trail or gravel, 5% beach and 2% pavement. The event limits field sizes to 250 runners in the 100 km and 150 runners in the 45 km. Cut-offs on course are strictly enforced for safety. All checkpoint food is vegetarian with vegan options. The event operates as a cupless event and partners with a conservation organisation focused on trail stewardship. Organisers acknowledge the Eastern Maar People as the custodians of the lands and waters along the Great Ocean Walk.
Logistics notes include a temporary finish arrangement at Princetown Recreation Reserve in 2026 with a planned return to the Twelve Apostles Visitor Information Centre subject to future confirmation. A refund policy sets a no-refund date of 31 August 2026 with earlier refunds subject to an administration fee. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
