The Noosa Ultra-Trail has been developed to showcase the beautiful Hinterland region of Noosa by utilising a large section of the existing Noosa Trail Network which has been rebranded to the Noosa Biosphere Trail.
The Noosa Ultra-Trail has been developed to showcase the beautiful Hinterland region of Noosa by utilising a large section of the existing Noosa Trail Network.
The Noosa Trail Network was developed over 20 years ago and has 8 interconnecting trails of different lengths and degrees of difficultly which form a circular loop from Lake MacDonald in the east to Kin Kin in the north to Cooran and Pomona in the West and then to Cooroy in the southern parts of Noosa Shire.
Since its development the Trail has only been promoted for walking, horse riding and mountain biking. Now we are bringing the sport of Trail Running!
In April 2020 a Masterplan was developed to upgrade many elements of the trail network with a focus on the trails in and around Pomona and the spectacular Mount Coorora.
With the growing popularity of trail running around the globe the opportunity presented itself to develop a Trail Running Festival by using the Noosa Trail Network as the basis of the routes.
Whilst not a mountainous region the area offers a great deal of variety in terrain, flora and fauna and with numerous lookouts the vistas offer a nice respite area for runners whilst taking in the hinterland scenery.
In 2027 the Festival will offer 7 different distance options for runners.
