UTA50
Fifty-one kilometres with 2,400 metres of climbing — effectively the second half of the UTA100, run as its own race and at its own pace. The route works out along the escarpment and down into the Jamison Valley, takes in the Kedumba Pass climb that breaks the hundred-kilometre field every year, and finishes with the same 951 Furber Steps up to Scenic World that everything at this event finishes with.
The limit is fourteen and a half hours, which puts the whole race inside one day and makes it the busiest finish line of the weekend. This page is the 2027 edition of the UTA50, with its own start time and course. On Livebib, supporters can see the runner move along the real line rather than waiting for a results page to refresh, with checkpoint splits and a live estimate for the top of the steps.
