ICONIC VIEWS. CLASSIC TRAILS.
A TRUE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN EPIC.
If you’ve ever dreamed of running through a postcard, this is it.
​​The Heysen Trail Ultra takes you across some of the most spectacular and wildly diverse landscapes South Australia has on offer. From rolling paddocks and pine forests, to remote beaches, dairy country, and the legendary single track climbs of Yultie and Myponga. Every kilometre delivers new terrain, new challenges and unforgettable views.
​
Born back in 2011, Heysen has grown into one of SA’s most loved trail events, a true staple on the Australian ultra calendar and a proud part of the SA Five 50. It’s iconic, it’s quirky, it’s got history, character and yes, plenty of stile-climbing for those tired legs to negotiate. Glamorous? Mostly. Challenging? Absolutely. Worth it? Every single step.
