About This Event
The Surf Coast Century, dubbed "The Feel Good Ultra," unfolds along some of Australia's most spectacular coastline on the Great Ocean Road near Anglesea. This event has built a reputation over 14 years as the ideal introduction to ultrarunning, combining jaw-dropping scenery with a supportive, celebratory atmosphere that carries runners from sea cliffs through wildflower hinterland to remote beaches. With seven fully-stocked checkpoints, free guided training runs over the actual course, and a buzzing finish line expo complete with beer steins for finishers, the event prioritizes the runner experience at every level. The course features clifftop trails with endless ocean views, single track through wildflower country, wild beaches, and waterfalls, all designed to be as runnable as it is beautiful. The community aspect sets this race apart, with volunteers, support crews, and fellow runners creating an atmosphere that genuinely celebrates every finisher. From elite competitors chasing course records and cash prizes to first-time ultra runners earning their place on the Centurion Honour Board, the Surf Coast Century delivers what organizers call "running highs that last for weeks."
