About This Event
Set along Western Australia's stunning Cape to Cape Track, the Margaret River Ultra Marathon has earned its reputation as "the best weekend of the year" among the Australian trail running community. The event showcases the ruggedly beautiful coastline of the Margaret River region, weaving through wine country and along technical coastal trails that demand both endurance and focus. With options ranging from a 2km kids race to the challenging Grand Slam double, this event welcomes runners of all abilities. The atmosphere is notably inclusive, drawing everyone from elite competitors to 72-year-old first-timers, all supported by enthusiastic volunteers and spectators at strategic checkpoints. The post-race celebration at Howard Park Wines caps off what many consider one of Australia's premier trail running experiences. The event's popularity is undeniable - recent editions have sold out in under 27 hours, with team relay spots disappearing in just 32 minutes. This demand reflects not just the quality of the course, but the genuine community spirit that defines the Margaret River Ultra experience.
