Buffalo Stampede
Preparing for sustained climbing, alpine exposure, and technical descents with strength and control.
Bright & Mount Buffalo, VIC
Her Trails is a women-led endurance platform specialising in race-specific preparation. We don’t train distances in isolation. We prepare runners for elevation, terrain variability, and fatigue under load, with structure that builds durability, confidence, and long-term resilience.
UTA through the Her Trails lens
What UTA Asks of You
At Her Trails, we don’t describe UTA as “runnable” without context. Runnable terrain changes the demands of the race rather than softening them. Long fire trail sections reward restraint early, while fatigue accumulates quietly across the day.
Downhills feel forgiving at first, yet they carry a cost that shows up later if effort is rushed. The race rarely unravels in one dramatic moment; it unravels through small decisions repeated too often.
This is where Her Trails places its focus. Fuel discipline, pacing control, and mental patience matter more than bravado. Preparation must support not just race day performance, but durability across the entire build.
UTA training, guided the Her Trails way
Choose Your UTA Pathway
Each UTA distance places different demands on the body and mind. These programs are built specifically for the terrain, fatigue patterns, and pacing decisions unique to each race.
Every pathway is supported by Her Trails coaching, community connection, and a training philosophy centred on restraint, durability, and long-term confidence rather than short-term intensity.

Race weekend logistics, handled
UTA Accommodation with Her Trails
For runners who want to simplify race weekend, Her Trails offers a small number of shared accommodation options in the Blue Mountains. These stays are designed to support calm preparation, recovery, and connection before and after race day.
Shared accommodation creates a different race weekend rhythm. It reduces decision fatigue, travel stress, and the mental load that quietly accumulates before a big event. Meals are simpler. Conversations are easier. Nervous energy has somewhere to land. You are not performing or proving anything, just preparing together and arriving at the start line steadier and more resourced.

Practise pacing restraint, fuelling under pressure, and decision-making
in a supported group environment.

Based in Bright and the Mount Buffalo region, this alpine block offers a supported environment to build skills that transfer directly into long runnable trail racing. While the terrain differs from the Blue Mountains, the training load is intentional.
Training together allows athletes to practise restraint, rhythm, and fuelling without comparison, while experiencing how fatigue accumulates across a full day.
Confidence under sustained load
Improved downhill durability
Repeatable fuelling strategies
Clearer decision-making under fatigue
