The Course

Running the Noosa Ultra-Trail 100km

Set in the heart of Queensland's Sunshine Coast hinterland, the Noosa Ultra-Trail 100km runs through five National Parks, State Forests and Reserves, linking Noosa Hinterland townships across a spectacular 100km journey. The course is a UTMB Index event and one of the premier trail runs on the Australian calendar.

The terrain blends runnable fire trails with technical singletrack, rolling elevation and subtropical conditions. Heat and humidity are defining factors. Smart pacing, consistent fuelling and a resilient mindset are what separate a good race from a great one.

Course Profile

What the course demands

  • Runnable fire trails that reward pacing control and consistent effort
  • Technical singletrack through National Parks and State Forests
  • Subtropical heat and humidity requiring careful thermoregulation
  • Rolling elevation across approximately 2,800m of gain
  • Night running sections requiring headtorch, gear and mental readiness

Training Focus

How this program prepares you

  • Aerobic base and long run progression for sustained 100km endurance
  • Heat acclimatisation strategies and fuelling for subtropical conditions
  • Technical trail skills and back-to-back long run durability
  • Night run practice, gear testing and race-specific simulation
  • Mindset and resilience work for the long hours between aid stations

The Program

20 weeks of progressive preparation

This program is built around the reality that preparing for 100km happens inside a full life. Training with structure, rhythm and intention means you build toward the start line without burning out before you get there. Sessions are released weekly on Saturdays so you stay focused on the training in front of you rather than overwhelmed by everything ahead.

Long runs are the cornerstone. They begin at 60 to 75 minutes and extend progressively, guided by where you are tracking and what the course demands. Every other element of training, strength, mobility, recovery, fuelling and mindset, is built around supporting those long run efforts.
