Your Next Mountain Milestone
Her Trails x Ultra-Trail Australia 100 km
The UTA 100 is the pinnacle of Australian trail running: a 100 km journey through escarpments, ridgelines, valleys and stairs carved into the Blue Mountains. This course asks for patience, grit and strategy, rewarding presence as much as power.
Our 20-week program helps you build the endurance, elevation strength and mental composure to take on a full day in the mountains. You will learn to manage energy, fuel consistently and stay calm through the highs and lows of long-course racing.
