Event overview
The Cut Ultra is scheduled for Saturday, October 31, 2026. Entries open on June 1, 2026. The event uses an elimination format with repeated laps and periodic cuts rather than a fixed-distance race for all competitors. The organisers state the total distance will vary but will be at least 10.5 km and no more than 50 km for this edition.
Race categories and format
The event includes separate categories for junior, male and female competitors. The Junior Cut uses 500 m laps; cuts begin at 2 km and the junior race has a maximum distance of 5 km. The women’s field will be monitored and an amnesty applied once 20 women remain. Separate cuts for men and women will commence from Lap 23 (after the second break), and a second bike will be deployed to monitor the women’s field. The junior race is staged during the long break of the main event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
