Overall Ultra-Trail Australia saw an astonishing 6,809 starters and 6,538 finishers for all the events combined. Below are the numbers broken down by distance and gender:

• 100K Starters: 1,523 – DNF: 207 – Finishers: 1,313. Women: 240 (18%) Men: 1,073 (82%)
• 50K Starters: 2,151 – DNF: 46 – Finishers: 2,103. Women: 764 (36%) Men: 1,338 (64%)
• 22K Starters: 2,282 – DNF: 9 – Finishers: 2,273. Women: 1,284 (56%) Men: 989 (44%)
• 11K Starters: 853 – DNF: 4 – Finishers: 849. Women: 515 (61%) Men: 334 (39%)

In total the event saw 6,538 finishers. 2,803 (43%) women and 3,734 (57%) men reached the finish line and earned themselves stones and an UTMB index (or directly punched their ticket to the Finals in Chamonix for 2025).

These truly are BIG numbers for Ultra-Trail Australia. They are a bit skewed, as essentially half of them come from the 11K and 22K events which aren’t really “ultra distances”, but nonetheless Australia delivered a massive trail running event, wow.

Next up on the UTMB World Series Calendar we’re heading down to South Africa for the Mountain Ultra Trail by UTMB along the Garden Route in George, South Africa on May 24 – 26, 2024.
