Ultra Trail runners head our way

A NEW and exciting event coming to the Noosa Hinterland next year will put the region on the world stage.

AS a trail running and active lifestyle festival, Noosa Ultra-Trail, will bring thousands of competitors and visitors to the region to participate in six running events and activities over three days.

At the media launch for Noosa Ultra-Trail at Pomona Distilling Co. recently, promoter Nick Stewart, said that this event will be a showcase for the region.

“There are many stakeholders in this project, from Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service, Noosa Council, Tourism Noosa, the hinterland towns, the trail running community and of course the local residents.

“We are all passionate and knowledgeable about the importance of conservation and sustainability in the parks and forests of our shire and this event will be a showcase for the region.”

The festival will be held over three days, from March 23 to March 27 2022, with the main trail running events being held on the Saturday.

“There will be six different distance options, ranging from 15km to 100km, with events in the morning and afternoon.”

Up to 1000 runners are expected to participate in the events, which will traverse the trails of the Noosa Trail Network and incorporate towns such as Tewantin, Cooroy, Kin Kin, Cooran and Pomona.

At the active lifestyle festival, visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy the Noosa lifestyle with organised activities including yoga, river cruises, ocean swims, sunrise and sunset treks, a women’s luncheon and a few casual runs. “Four national identities have been secured as event ambassadors, including Australian representative trail runner Kellie Emmerson, threetime IRONMAN World Champion Craig ‘Crowie’ Alexander, and locals such as international yoga and wellness practitioner Kat Harding, and celebrity chef and trail runner Matt Golinski.” The Noosa UltraTrail will be a qualifying event for the new Ultra-Trail Mont Blanc (UTMB) World Series in France.
