***EARLY BIRD ROUND 2 OPEN UNTIL MARCH 25 2018***
The Hubert is back!
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.
