Ultra Wanaka is built to showcase one of the most stunning places on Earth. The courses follow well formed public tracks alongside the Upper Clutha River and Lake Wānaka shoreline, with long runnable sections and a natural rhythm from start to finish.
Every detail is designed with runners and the environment in mind. Cupless aid stations help reduce waste, clear course marking keeps navigation simple, and volunteers and marshals are positioned throughout the course to provide support where it’s needed.
Whether you’re taking on ultra distance for the first time or arriving with years of experience, Ultra Wanaka is designed to feel achievable while still giving stronger runners the chance to push the pace and chase a fast time.
