Ultra running will challenge your body and mind but the Surf Coast Century will leave you feeling exhilarated. The scenery, the trails, the race kitchen crew, the spectators and the race co-ordinators, make this the best ultra.- (Yvette, 2023 Participant)
People told me I would love this race and they weren’t wrong, well maybe a little because I TOTALLY loved it! I am thrilled to have achieved my first 100km race. The event organisers have designed a spectacular course, and set up such a wonderful safe and supportive atmosphere which was felt all the way along the course – and you even get to make new friends!
