Course Description

The 45 km Mt Solitary Ultra begins and ends at the historic Old Queen Victoria Hospital on Tableland Road in Wentworth Falls. The route circles the Jamison Valley, following sections of the UTA 100 km course before tackling the iconic traverse over Mt Solitary. Runners will encounter fast downhill fire trails, steep single‑track climbs, stairs, rolling ridges, creek and river crossings, and rock scrambling amid diverse Blue Mountains flora. The first half of the course demands self‑sufficiency, while marked sections and course marshals guide you through the technical terrain. Aid is provided at the 25 km Prince Henry Picnic Area and an unmanned water point at 37 km, with portaloos at the start/finish. Expect breathtaking vistas and a true test of endurance.

Weather & What to Pack

In April the Blue Mountains enjoy crisp autumn weather, with daytime highs typically ranging from 15 °C to 20 °C and night lows dropping to 7 °C–10 °C. Expect clear mornings that can turn into light showers, and variable winds across the valleys. Runners should dress in layered clothing, bring a wind‑proof jacket and warm hat or gloves for cooler sections, and wear sturdy trail shoes with good grip. Hydration remains important, but cooler temperatures reduce the risk of overheating.
