Surf Coast Century : event overview
The Surf Coast Century is an ultramarathon event held in Anglesea on the Great Ocean Road. It offers multiple race formats on a coastal and hinterland course that combines clifftop single track, wildflower heathland, beaches and waterfalls.
Available formats include:
- 100 km solo ultra
- 50 km solo (legs 3 and 4 of the 100 km course)
- Relay teams of 2, 3 or 4
- 2.5 km Kids' Run for children up to 12 years
The 100 km course includes about 1,800 m of climbing and seven checkpoints along the route. Checkpoints are fully stocked with varied food options and allow meeting support crews. The event provides free guided training runs over the course, training programs and advice from coaches, and marks first-time ultra runners on race plates.
Race day features a finish line expo, an extensive recovery marquee and finisher medals for all solo and relay finishers. Solo 100 km finishers who meet time benchmarks receive engraved beer steins, and course record breakers may qualify for cash prizes. The event also includes celebration activities the day after the race, such as presentations and community events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
