Course Description

Set off from the Australian Commando Memorial at Tidal River and follow the route that loops around the peninsula. The course weaves through pristine sandy beaches where the water can reach waist‑deep, winds across exposed headlands, and climbs through lush coastal forests and heathland. The 100 km ultra covers the full perimeter, tackling steep ascents and technical sections, while the 70 km and 50 km routes take the inner loops. Shorter distances (27 km, 15 km, 5 km) explore the most scenic sections of the trail, offering a mix of beach, dune and bushland terrain. Expect well‑marked tracks, occasional rocky sections, and breathtaking ocean vistas throughout.

Getting There

The race village is located at the Australian Commando Memorial on Ring Road in Tidal River, within Wilsons Promontory National Park. The park lies roughly three hours' drive south of Melbourne. Participants should allow extra time for park entry checks and to set up at the start line. For detailed information on parking, shuttle services and public transport options, please refer to the official event website.

Expect occasional rain and strong coastal breezes, especially along exposed beaches.
