Noosa Ultra-Trail Athlete Information
The Noosa Ultra-Trail is a multi distance trail running event held on the Noosa Trail Network. There are six course options:
- Forest 15km
- Cross Country 25km
- Pomona Sundowner 30km
- Out'N'Back 50km
- Hinterland Traverse 80km
- Ultra Trail 100km
Registration and the main venue are based at Noosa District Sports Complex. A gear tent and information desk operate from the venue on race morning. Shuttle buses run from accommodation hubs to the start area and parking around the venue is limited. Competitors in the Cross Country 25 must use the shuttle service to reach the Twin Hill Views Lookout start as there is no parking access at that start location.
Mandatory gear applies to ultra events over 42.2 km and must be carried at all times. Required items include a mobile phone, rain jacket if rain is predicted, water or electrolyte and nutrition, and a compression bandage. Competitors in the 80km and 100km events must also carry an approved hi vis vest that meets Australian Standard, a headlamp, and a thermal top subject to conditions. Shorter distances should carry sufficient fluid and nutrition.
Race numbers must be attached to the front of the shirt and disposable timing transponders are attached to the back of the bib. There are multiple checkpoints and aid stations with water, Tailwind nutrition and snacks; toilets are available at most checkpoints. Medical personnel are positioned on course and at checkpoints. Courses are waymarked and colour coded by distance and include both trail and open road sections where runners must take care at crossings. Drop bags for 50km, 80km and 100km are collected at check in and returned to designated checkpoints. The finish area is at Noosa District Sports Complex where food vendors, showers and massage services are available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
