About the race
The Mt Solitary Ultra is a trail running event in the Blue Mountains centred on Wentworth Falls. The course is 45 km long with approximately +2515 m of elevation and circles the Jamison Valley, including a traverse over Mt Solitary. Terrain includes fast downhill fire and single trails, steep and technical uphill sections, stairs, rolling single track, creek and river crossings, and rock scrambling.
Runners will pass varied native flora and several vantage points with extensive views. The route is remote in places and the early portion of the course requires self-sufficiency and some on-course navigation; the course will be marked with marshals at key points. Aid provision includes a staffed aid station at 25 km (Prince Henry Picnic Area) and an unmanned water point at 37 km. Aid stations supply basic first-aid items and volunteers but will not provide disposable cups; runners must carry their own water containers. Entry is limited and entry fees for the 45 km event are listed at $190 to $200.
Most entrants usually need a qualifier; for 2026 there is a special limited early-start option for up to 20 non-competitive runners who must demonstrate capability and self-sufficiency. Facilities at the event include parking at Tableland Rd and Kings Tableland Rd and portaloos at the start/finish. Headphones are not permitted; walking poles are allowed.
Refunds and entry transfers are available under the event terms. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
