Event Overview
The Wilsons Prom 100 is a coastal trail running event held at Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria. Located approximately 3.5 hours from Melbourne, the event utilizes a variety of terrain including single track, rock surfaces, fire trails, and beaches. The course provides views of the coast and includes approximately 10 km of sealed road. Runners may be required to wade through water at Sealers Cove and Oberon Beach depending on tidal movements.
Available Distances
Participants can choose from four distinct loop courses starting and finishing at Tidal River:
- 27 km loop
- 47 km loop
- 66 km loop
- 100 km loop
Operational Details
This event is organized as a self-supported run rather than a competitive race. Due to regional regulations, support personnel and equipment are only permitted at the Tidal River location. The terrain consists of frequent climbs that contribute to the cumulative physical demand of the course. Because the event begins and ends during hours of darkness, participants are expected to have navigation experience.
Participation Requirements
The event is intended for experienced trail runners. Those participating in the 100 km distance must have completed at least one organized 50 km trail run within the six months prior to the event. Runners are responsible for their own safety and are advised to prepare for potentially cold, wet, and windy weather conditions. Participants should be prepared for the risk of hypothermia and are expected to assist others in distress if necessary. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
