The Cut Ultra*

‘The Cut’ is a run unlike any other! This event’s reputation has quickly grown; with its unique format, social setting and the cut-throat nature, what’s not to love?!

Locked in for this year is the date; October 26, 2024 and entries are NOW open. The run is easy... until it's not, and then it will be over; the only question remaining is; ‘how long can YOU survive?!'

For the uninitiated; just what is ‘The Cut’? Well for let’s start with what it’s not! It’s not a last runner standing exactly. It’s not even an Ultra - well at least not for everyone… there’s no knowing exactly kilometres you’ll be running; although we do guarantee it will be somewhere between 10.5k and, on this occasion; 50k… what’s 40k give or take between friends?!

1.5km loops with short breaks, once we hit the 10.5km mark, the cutting commences. Whilst officially you have 15 minutes to complete a lap, once we hit the cut mark; the exeCUTioner has a job to do, and before you head out each time, you'll know how many runners are to be cut on the next lap. Anywhere between one (1) and five (5) people will have their day CUT short!

We stop for meal breaks as well and we will have options on site to select from. The final lap will be around the 5.30pm time, as we welcome all the Halloween Hustle crowd to witness the frantic hot lap to decide the Cut championship!!

The Juniors get a stand-alone event too! During the long/lunch break, the kids duke it out! In a similar format, but with 500m laps, a minimum of 2km and a maximum of 5km to be run, it will get very exciting very quickly! The juniors also feature the 20 second breaks between laps - lets find some run stars of the future!
