Course Description

The True Blue Ultra course is a certified 12.5 km out‑and‑back loop on sealed road, repeated to create distances from 12.5 km up to 100 km. Runners follow Cathedral Drive, passing the historic Paperbark Walk and enjoy views of the Leschenault Inlet. Aid stations appear every 6.25 km, with a self‑serve water oasis at 3 km. The route is flat and fast, ideal for personal bests, yet the distance challenges endurance. Restroom facilities are at the start/finish and the 2 km turn‑around, and a playground adds family appeal. The looped format makes navigation simple while showcasing the coastal scenery.

Getting There

The race starts and finishes at Ridley Place Foreshore Park on Old Coast Road in Australind. Ample parking is available on‑site, with a service station and a Coles supermarket just across the road. For detailed directions, public transport options and any parking fees, please check the official event website.
