Event Overview
Great White Ultra takes place on Saturday, 29 August 2026 on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, finishing at the Port Lincoln foreshore. The event offers four distances: 100km and 60km ultra marathon options, plus 22km and 5km runs. The 100km distance can also be completed as a four-person relay. Routes are set through Lincoln National Park and connect to foreshore trail networks, with varying start locations.
What the Course Demands
This is a point-to-point event with multiple start points, so athletes need to plan logistics alongside race execution. The longer distances, particularly 60km and 100km, require steady pacing and robust nutrition management over extended time on course. With routes spanning Lincoln National Park and into the Port Lincoln foreshore area, runners should expect sustained focus on rhythm, efficient movement, and maintaining effort as the course transitions between networks.
Who This Event Suits Best
Great White Ultra suits runners looking for a longer endurance challenge, from a short 5km through to ultra-distance. The 22km works well for athletes stepping up from shorter events, while the 60km and 100km options suit experienced trail runners building toward all-day efforts. The 100km relay format also fits teams who want an ultra-distance experience while sharing the workload across four runners.
