Course Description

The 100‑mile route follows the full length of the Cape to Cape Track, beginning at the Augusta Hotel and winding south along the Indian Ocean coastline to Yallingup. Runners traverse dramatic limestone cliffs at Cape Naturaliste, sandy beach stretches, ancient Karri forest sections and world‑class surf breaks before reaching the finish at Yallingup. The 50‑mile option starts at Riflebutts Reserve in Prevelly and finishes at the same Yallingup endpoint, covering the most iconic coastal sections. With total elevation gains of 3,387 m for the 100 mi and 1,860 m for the 50 mi, the course demands stamina and technical skill. Well‑spaced aid stations provide water, food, and morale‑boosting treats, while mandatory gear ensures safety in the cool winter conditions.
