On 21 March 2026, Noosa Ultra-Trail returns as one of Australia’s standout trail-running weekends, set in the lush hinterland behind world-famous Noosa. Runners can choose from 15km, 25km, 30km, 50km, 80km, or 100km, with courses built around the Noosa Trail Network and the wider biosphere landscape. Expect a highly runnable mix of singletrack, forest trails, fire roads, sandy patches, creek crossings and punchy climbs, designed to be tough but flowy rather than overly technical. With a festival vibe, multiple start waves, and a warm Queensland welcome, it’s a bucket-list event for first-time trail racers and seasoned ultrarunners alike.
