So with that being said here my 10 must do ultramarathons in Australia.

My own experiences and recommendations I’ve had from other runners. The Classics, every country has them, the races with a good reputation that everyone talks about and 4. Diversity, I want a set of 10 races that spans across Australia’s diverse environments, ones that will take me to different states and towns, 3. The difficulty, I want to be pushed, the longer the better, the higher the better, the more extreme the better, 2. But if I only got to choose 10 (I know how harsh) which ones would I choose? It’s a hard question but here’s the 10 I’ve chosen, I chose them using primarily the following criteria 1.

From the sand dunes in Australia’s central outback, to the cliffs and surf on Victorias coast, on the tracks through Queensland’s rainforests and right through the mountains in the Australian Alps, races can be found everywhere.
