What Makes It Great

The UTA50 follows the second half of the UTA100 course, starting and finishing at Scenic World in Katoomba. Running south along the clifftops, through the spectacular Wentworth Falls, down the Kedumba Pass, and back up via the 951 Furber Steps, the course packs in the most celebrated sections of the Blue Mountains trail network. The perfect stepping stone for runners attempting their first ultra or bridging to longer distances, earning 4 UTMB Running Stones.
