BMF UTA Training 22-35km (5 hours+) 23/03/2024

8 WEEKS TO ULTRA TRAIL AUSTRALIA!

Perfect training run for those wanting to see parts of the UTA50 and UTA100, get some solid stair and hill training done in the Blue Mountains.

With Kedumba closed from the QV Hospital end we’ll start the training run from Solitary Restaurant Car Park. The training course will be a mix of the UTA50 and UTA100 course - plenty of stairs, hills, single tracks and fire trails.

There will also be options to run less than 22km and more than 32km if needed, about 5 hours.

We’ll get a lot of Kedumba done on the longer distance options.

The training course route may change due to UTA Course changes and/or National Parks/Council closures, landslides, floods or any unforeseen circumstances. We will update details if required.

BLUE MOUNTAINS FITNESS is one of only a few companies with a National Parks and Wildlife ECO PASS licence to carry out run training on the Ultra Trail Australia course. We have been training runners for 14 years to complete the arduous UTA course since 2011. We have highly experienced trainers who know the trails better than most.

WHY? This is a great training run to get a look at the UTA50 and UTA100 courses. See where you are at with your training. The Run Trainers at BMF have a wealth of experience to pass on - race prep, race gear, training and race nutrition, race strategy, pacing and info on the course.

We do not leave runners and walkers behind. We have plenty of options with the different pace groups and distances. Our Run Trainers are highly experienced and will see who is doing it easy and also those who are finding it not so easy!
