Mat GrillsRan in 2023

“The heat remained but I got stronger and stronger as the race progressed.”

At the Noosa Ultra-Trail 100km, early heat and dehydration were overcome with family support and aid-station supplies. Despite late cramps and a fall, the runner finished 4 minutes faster than last year and placed eighth among men.

“The last 30k was rad.”

At the Noosa Ultra-Trail 100km, heat and exhaustion midway made the runner consider quitting. Shifting from competition to enjoying the day helped restore strength late in the race and brought a finish in 12 hours and 34 minutes.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Centered in Kuroi, the Nusa Ultra-Trail is a race with seven distance categories from the 15km Forest up to the 100km Ultra-Trail,

and it is also a UTMB® Index race.

About 90% of the course is on unpaved trail, so there are plenty of technical trail-running sections.

The Entry fee starts at around 35 dollars for early registration and rises to 125 dollars close to the deadline,

so earlier sign-up is the better deal (based on the previous year).

The 100km category has time limit by segment, and one checkpoint reportedly has a time limit of 9 hours.

The 100km course includes 6 checkpoints and 4 aid station, and each checkpoint provides water,

Tailwind drink, fruit, and snacks, though no food is offered at the first checkpoint.

Times are local to Tewantin. Check the latest official information before the race.
