Event Overview
The Coastal Pathway Ultra is held on 4 October 2026, starting and finishing in Latrobe, Tasmania. The event follows the Coastal Pathway and runs as an out-and-back format for listed distances. Options include 64km solo, 64km teams relay, 42.2km, 21.1km and 10km, with scheduled starts from Bells Parade across the morning. Relay teams are made up of three runners completing approximately 21.1km each.
What the Course Demands
With courses described as out-and-back, pacing discipline matters because the return leg mirrors the first half. The longer events reward steady effort and an ability to stay organised around aid, as drink stations are provided and support access is noted at designated points. The relay format adds changeover execution, with handovers occurring at Leith for the first and second changeovers. Cut-off times are published for 10km, 21.1km and 42.2km.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners looking for a structured long-distance day with multiple start times and distance options from 10km through to 64km. The 10km and 21.1km options fit athletes wanting a clear time limit and a defined out-and-back route. Marathoners and ultra runners who prefer straightforward logistics, plus teams that enjoy shared responsibility across three legs, are well matched to the relay.
