Event Details
Course Description
The Margaret River Ultra Marathon takes runners on a breathtaking journey through towering Karri forests, along cliff-top trails with endless coastal views, over granite domes, and along the crisp white sandy beaches of the Cape to Cape coastline. The 80km course stretches from Hamelin Bay to Howard Park, while the 42km marathon starts at Yallingup and finishes at the same iconic location. Both courses offer a mix of technical terrain and stunning scenery, making it a challenge that's as magical as the region itself.
