About This Event
The Heysen Trail Ultra takes runners across some of South Australia's most spectacular and diverse landscapes, from rolling paddocks and pine forests to remote beaches, dairy country, and legendary single track climbs through Yultie and Myponga.

The course delivers constantly changing terrain with new challenges and views around every kilometer. Runners navigate through postcard-worthy scenery while tackling the event's characteristic stiles and technical sections that have become part of its quirky charm. This is pure trail running with no fluff—just unforgettable scenery, a passionate trail community, and challenging terrain that tests runners while rewarding them with some of the most beautiful landscapes South Australia offers.
