Mt Solitary Ultra - Wentworth Falls
The Mt Solitary Ultra is a trail running event held near Wentworth Falls. The main course is 45 km long with approximately +2515 m of elevation gain. The route circles the Jamison Valley and includes a traverse over Mt Solitary.
The course features a variety of terrain: fast downhill fire trails and singletrack, steep and technical uphill sections, stairs, creek and river crossings, rock scrambling, and sections of rolling single trail through diverse flora. The first portion of the course is rugged and requires a degree of self-sufficiency and basic navigation despite course marking. Course marshals are positioned at key points.
Aid station details include a staffed station at about 25 km (Prince Henry Picnic Area) and unmanned water at 37 km. Aid stations supply emergency pads and tampons, hand sanitiser, rubbish and recycling bins, and volunteers in contact with First Aid. There are no disposable cups on course; runners must carry their own fluid-carrying solution.
The event has entry limits and no on-the-day entries. The entry fee for the 45 km event is listed as $160. Portaloos are available at the start and finish area. Parking is available at the intersection of Tableland Road and Kings Tableland Road. Mandatory gear and qualifying standards are listed in the event information pack. A limited early-start option is offered to a small number of runners who must demonstrate capability and who will not be eligible for podium places.
