Ultra-Trail Australia is The New Major For Oceania

As previously announced (somewhere, I can’t find where I hard read this before) there would be a new ‘major’ in the UTMB World Series for the Oceania region, and now we have the details:

HOKA Ultra-Trail Australia by UTMB, the largest trail running festival in the Southern Hemisphere, has today been announced as the newest UTMB World Series Major and is set to take its place on the global stage in 2025 as one of four pinnacle events.

UTMB will be adding a 100M distance to the already sold out event held in May of 2025, and everyone is getting double the stones – nice.

And speaking of ” largest trail running festival in the Southern Hemisphere”. Even before the addition of the 100M race this event had over 7,000 registered runners. Incredible.

The ECC UMTB World Series Calendar is updated.
