REFUNDS, TRANSFERS & ROLLOVERS:
Refunds and rollovers are no longer available for Ultra Perth. With our new registration system, you can now sell your entry and transfer it to another runner if you can no longer make the event, using our dedicated Facebook group: Ultra Perth Buy/Sell Group.
​
For fairness, entries cannot be sold for more than the original purchase price, and all transfers must be completed before entries close. Once you’ve agreed to transfer your entry, simply open your original entry confirmation email, log in, select the transfer option and follow the prompts. This process avoids multiple handling and saves you the $30 admin fee.
QUALIFICATION
Runners competing in the 50K must be at least 18 years of age on the day of the race. Half marathon and team runners must be at least 12 years old.
Any participants completing outside these restrictions is at the discretion of the race organiser.
​
Ultra Marathon events are demanding physical events. By entering, runners acknowledge that they have trained appropriately for the ULTRA PERTH.
WAVE START TIMES
ENSURING A SMOOTHER RACE FOR EVERYONE
​
To ensure everyone has a smooth start and plenty of space on the course, Ultra Perth uses a staggered wave start system. This allows us to manage the flow of runners and minimise congestion on the paths.
​
HOW IT WORKS
Instead of being assigned a group, we invite you to self-seed. This means you choose the start wave that best matches your expected pace.
​
Faster Runners: Please position yourselves in the earlier waves to ensure a clear path ahead.
Steady & Social Runners: Aim for the subsequent waves to enjoy a more relaxed start with others at your pace.
​
WHY SELF-SEED?
By placing yourself with runners of similar ability, you’ll experience less overtaking and a much more comfortable rhythm from the moment you cross the start line.
​
WHERE DO I FIND THE WAVE TIMES?
Wave times are listed on our Distances pages for 50K, 50K Relay, 21K, and 10K Races, or click the Race Info Links below.
CHECK IN
EVERY PARTICIPANT FOR EVERY EVENT MUST CHECK IN AT THE ULTRA PERTH VILLAGE AT SIR JAMES MITCHELL PARK IN SOUTH PERTH.
You MUST check in and collect your timing chip before your event.
​
THERE ARE 2 CHECK IN OPTIONS
1. EARLY CHECK IN: Friday 19 June, 4:00pm – 7:00pm
2. SAME DAY CHECK IN: Saturday 20 June from 4:30am (optional shuttle bus available from Village to 50K Start)
DROP BAGS
PERMITTED FOR ALL 50K RUNNERS AND 21K ELITE RUNNERS ONLY
​​
Drop bags are permitted for all 50K runners and 21K Elite runners at all aid stations. Once you’ve checked in at the Ultra Perth Village, place each drop bag into the designated drop bag area.
Please label them clearly with your BIB NUMBER, NAME, and AID STATION.
Please consider the size of your drop bags, if you're only putting a small item in a drop bag please try to use a reasonably small drop bag.
​
COLLECTION
Drop bags will be available to collect at the Ultra Perth Village after your race until 4pm on the Sunday.
If you’re planning on travelling home before then, we’ll take them back to the Ultra Series office, ready for you to collect - we'll let you know closer to the day, of the days and times you can pop by the office.
SHUTTLE BUSES
OPTIONAL FOR 50K RUNNERS ONLY
​​
There is an optional shuttle transfer available for 50k participants from the Village to the 50K start line in Bayswater. This service costs $10 and can be added or edited within your registration. Buses will depart at 6:15am sharp from the Coode Street Jetty Carpark.
TRANSITION & WATER STATIONS
There will be 5 fully manned, full-service aid stations positioned across the course, each ready to keep you fuelled with water, Coke, Tailwind, crisps, lollies and in-season fruit. Between these, you’ll also pass 4 hydration stations that will provide water and Tailwind.
Every stop has a role to play in getting you to the finish, from refilling bottles to lifting spirits, so take a moment to plan your strategy. Full details, locations and service notes can be found in the race manual and on our 'Stage-by-Stage' section on this website.
​
To keep you hydrated and performing at your best, we have also strategically placed water stations along the course. Please ensure you plan your hydration strategy based on these locations to stay properly hydrated during your run.
RELAY CHANGEOVERS
Teams participating in the relay must manage their runner swaps at our designated transition stations. You are free to coordinate your team strategy as you like, provided that each team member runs at least one full leg of the course. Please note that participant swaps are only permitted at official transition station locations.
CUT OFFS
To ensure the safety of our participants and volunteers, the official finish line cutoff for all distances is 4:00pm on Saturday, 20th June 2026.
​
In addition to the final finish time, please be aware of the following intermediate cutoffs at our transition stations. Participants who do not reach these points by the specified times will be required to withdraw from the race.

​
DEEP WATER TRANSITION STATION - 50K

PACERS
To help you reach your goal time, the event will provide experienced pacers for all three distances. You can easily spot them on the course by their official pacer shirts and the flags they carry, which will clearly state their target finish time.
Whether you are looking for a personal best or just want a steady rhythm to ensure you meet the course cutoffs, feel free to tuck in behind the pacer that matches your goal.
50K: 4:00hr, 4:30hr, 5:00hr, 5:30hr, 6:00hr, 6:30hr
21K: 1:30hr, 1:40hr, 1:50hr, 2:00hr, 2:15hr, 2:30hr
10K: 0:40hr, 0:45hr, 0:50hr, 1:00hr, 1:10hr, 1:20hr
Please note that unofficial pacers are not permitted on the course. To maintain race integrity and manage course capacity, only official event pacers or other registered entrants may run alongside you.
SUPPORT CREWS
​Runners are responsible for the actions of their support crews and can be disqualified if their support crew breaches the race rules and regulations. Support crews are only to assist their runners at the designated transition stations. External support may not be provided anywhere else on the course. ​
