Event Details
Course Description
The Feral Pig Ultra follows the Bibbulmun Track through the jarrah and marri forests of the Perth Hills, running between North Bannister and Kalamunda before finishing at Perth Hills Discovery Centre, Mundaring. The course is genuinely rugged single track, climbing steadily through granite outcrops and dense bushland with little respite - total ascent ranges from 721m on the 23km Pork Chop up to 4,245m on the full 162km 100 Miler (Feral Pig). Nine fully manned aid stations and up to three unmanned water points are spread along the route, with drop bags permitted for all ultra distances. Runners should expect isolated, exposed sections, warm to hot late-spring conditions, and a course that organisers describe as brutal and unforgiving - it demands solid trail navigation and heat-management experience.
Getting There
The event starts and finishes across the Perth Hills, roughly 35-45km east of Perth CBD. All Ultra distance runners (100 Miler, 100km, 50 Miler, 50km) must check in at the Feral Village at Perth Hills Discovery Centre, Mundaring, then catch the organiser's shuttle bus to their start line - no self-drive to the start is permitted. Pork Chop 23km runners check in at the Feral Village but arrange their own carpooling to the Kalamunda start.
