Surf Coast Century
The Surf Coast Century is an ultra running event held on Saturday 12 September 2026 in Anglesea on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria. The event offers multiple race formats and a seaside trail course that passes clifftop tracks, beaches, wildflower hinterland and waterfalls.
Course details include 100 km and 50 km options, relay legs, and about 1,800 m of total climbing across the 100 km route. The 50 km route follows the second half of the 100 km course. The event layout includes seven staffed checkpoints with a range of food options, and support crews may meet runners at every checkpoint. Finishers in solo and relay categories receive medals, and a recovery marquee and finish line expo are provided.
Additional formats and services listed for race weekend include a 2.5 km kids run for up to 12 year olds, free guided training runs over the course before race day, training programs and coach advice, and a post race Celebration Sunday with presentations and recovery activities. Prize offerings for 2026 mention steins for certain solo 100 km finishers, cash prizes for course records, and club challenge entry credits. The event records participation numbers and years running, noting about 1,500 runners in 2025 and over 14 years active. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
