2026 Entries will open on Monday 13th October 2025 at 9AM (WST)

Communication regarding the 2026 entries opening and process will be posted on this event website, as well as the official Facebook Page (Rapid Ascent Ultra Running Events) and the Official Facebook Chat Group (Margaret River Ultra Marathon Chat Group); and also through the event e-newsletter.
FIELD LIMIT
A field limit of 1,500 competitors will once again apply to the 80km course, and 400 competitors in the 42km course. Note, over the past few years the field limit has been reached within hours / days of opening, so we recommend getting organised and entering early to avoid disappointment.

This is the most brutal but beautiful trail I have ever run and almost the most magical trail running experience that I have ever had! The constantly changing scenery helped to breakup the 80k whilst the opportunities for friends and support crew to see the runners were plentiful. – Jennifer, 2022 Competitor
