Lofty's Revenge 2025

Adelaide Trail Runners are very excited to bring you the inaugural Lofty's Revenge on Saturday June 28th, 2025!

This has been in the pipeline for many years. The desire to create a new, local Ultra Running event in our own backyard that showcases some of the lesser-known roads and trails around Adelaide. We really are spoiled for choice! Hopefully you're going to love making your way from the city, or just out of it, to Mt. Lofty Summit. We guarantee, you will never have thought of going this way about it!

The 50km Ultra Marathon event will start at Felixstow Reserve, a short 10-minute drive to the North-East of the CBD. Runners will enjoy a nice smooth, almost flat, start along Linear Park, which is adjacent to the River Torrens. You will also enjoy the new "Aqueduct Trail" in Highbury which is just stunning and includes amazing views of Black Hill. For all the details on the course maps, please click on the link above.

There will be 3 distances to choose from. The 50km Ultra Marathon, and a 28km & 10km option, all finishing at the summit of Mt. Lofty. The 28km will start at Foxfield Oval in Athelstone and the 10km will start and finish at Mt Lofty Summit. The 50km has an elevation of 1,800m and is made up of approximately 70% trail and 30% road.

There will also be a 3-person teams relay for the 50km distance only. More details on each section can be found on the event page on the ATR website.
