West Macs Monster

The West Macs Monster returns from 15 to 17 May 2026 to the Larapinta Trail in Central Australia. The iconic Larapinta Trail, in the West McDonnell Ranges in Australia’s Red Centre is definitely a bucket list hiking destination for thousands of people around the world. Ultra runners have the opportunity to test themselves on 231km of spectacular single track in a new full length end to end, supported, non-stop ultra race event being organised by the Alice Springs Running and Walking Club (ASRWC). As well as the full length 231km ultra, there will be options for people with lesser running goals of a 128km ultra marathon from Ellery Creek, 65km from Standley Chasm, a 25km distance from Simpsons Gap and a family orientated fun run of around 5km, all finishing at the Historic Alice Springs Telegraph Station.
