Course Description

The Great White Ultra offers four distances that wind through Lincoln National Park’s coastal wilderness. Runners start at Stamford Hill Visitor Area and traverse dramatic limestone cliffs, the iconic Donington Lighthouse, MacLaren Point, Taylors Landing and the golden sands of Sleaford Beach before tackling the serene Sleaford Mere. The 100 km route includes just 1,050 m of vertical gain, while the 60 km follows a similar coastal loop. The 22 km and 5 km courses use the Parnkalla trail, delivering a blend of beach running, forest track and gentle undulations. Aid stations, bus shuttles and live tracking keep you supported throughout the journey.

Getting There

The race starts in Lincoln National Park and finishes at the Port Lincoln foreshore. Bus transfers to the start line are included for all distances except the 5 km. For parking, public transport options and exact arrival recommendations, please check the official event website.
