Ultra Adelaide - Trail running from the hills to the city
Ultra Adelaide is a multi-distance trail running event in South Australia based at Pinky Flat, Adelaide. Courses follow sections of the Heysen Trail through Kuitpo, Mount Lofty, Cleland, Morialta and Black Hill, then descend along the River Torrens into the Adelaide CBD, finishing near the River Torrens footbridge by Adelaide Oval.
Distances offered:
- 100 miles
- 100 km
- 50 km

Elevation for each distance is published (for example the 100 mile course shows +4,862 m gain and -5,139 m loss). The 100 mile course includes 11 manned full service aid stations providing water, Tailwind Nutrition, coke, fresh fruit, lollies and crisps. The event operates as plastic free; most runners must carry their own water vessel while the 21 km course has paper cups at two hydration stations and Brookway.
