***THANK YOU!***
To everyone who contributed to the success of the Hubert weekend, we salute you! For a first-time event (and South Australia’s FIRST EVER 100 mile trail event) we were happy with how it went. Always room for improvement, but rest assured the Yumigo! crew is onto it!
Results will be up by May 13 and an email will be sent out to all competitors with final details (eg new merchandise order). A link will also be sent with the email to the 2018 entry form. All starters will receive a 6-week offer to enter the 2018 event at half price. If you didn’t complete the course this year you will be offered a further 10% off.
Don’t resist the lure of the Ikara-Flinders Ranges, and the opportunity to run the very first 100 mile event in the region.
Follow in Sir Hubert Wilkins’ footsteps as you run your way over the Pound wall, across ancient lake beds, through rocky valleys, and along grassy trails in the shadows of the Ranges.
All of the events will take in the best the Ranges has to offer by foot, and will most definitely fill you with awe at least once! The history of the area is easy to see as it is evident everywhere. Join us in appreciating the bond that the Adnyamathanha people have had with this land for thousands of years, and be taken in by the Welcome To Country ceremony at Wilpena Pound Resort on the Friday evening.
Every finisher will receive a locally handcrafted medallion, and the top 3 by gender in each event will also receive a locally handcrafted trophy.
Please note that the 100 mile event has qualifying standards:
Completion of at least one trail ultramarathon of 100km or more in the preceding 18 months, or;
Completion of an endurance event lasting more than eight hours (such as an Ironman triathlon, or 24 Hour Rogaine).
The Race Director will consider all applications, but their decision will be final.
THE CUTOFF TIME LIMIT FOR THE 100MILE EVENT IS 35 HOURS.
