Her Trails Coaching
UTA100
Program for Women
20 weeks of structured, expert-led ultra training built for Ultra-Trail Australia's 100km, the pinnacle of Australian trail running. With around 4,400m of climbing through the Blue Mountains and the famous 951 Furber Steps to finish, this program builds the endurance, climbing strength and composure to take on a full day and night in the mountains.
The Race
Running UTA100
Ultra-Trail Australia 100 is the race every Australian trail runner aspires to at least once. Starting at first light from Scenic World in Katoomba, the 101km course threads the World Heritage Blue Mountains: out along Narrow Neck and Ironpot Ridge, through the Six Foot Track, Leura Forest and Wentworth Falls, up the long Kedumba climb, and finally to the bottom of the most famous stairs in trail running, the 951 Furber Steps back up to the finish. It carries around 4,400m of climbing and a 28-hour cut-off.
Held in mid-May, race day falls in the cool Blue Mountains autumn: crisp starts, mild days, and the chance of fog or mist in the valleys, with many runners out on course well into the night. It is a mix of single track, fire trail, cliff-top escarpment and lush valley, and it rewards patience, steady climbing and composure across the highs and lows of a long-course day.
The distance, the climbing and the mental demand of an all-day mountain race all reward specific preparation. This program builds exactly that.
