Ultra-Trail Australia 2026 - UTA100 & UTA50
Ultra-Trail Australia on 16 May 2026 is Australia's premier trail running event, held in the Blue Mountains National Park in New South Wales. There are 50km and 100km races on the Saturday, and several other shorter events over the weekend (the [UTA11](/event/uta-11/) and [UTA22](/event/uta-22/)). Starting from the famous Scenic World in the idyllic town of Katoomba, the 100km course experiences a mix of terrain - mostly single track and wide trails - and a mix of emotions as you run through the very special World Heritage listed national park of the Blue Mountains. The 50km course traces the second half of the 100km course, and does not lack for the beauty or stunning landscapes of its longer counterpart. Ultra-Trail Australia has captivated runners locally and internationally and It has quickly grown to become one of the most talked about endurance events in Australian history.
