The Down Under135 is formulated by 5 mates who created the DU135 being one of the gnarliest, super demanding and extreme foot races offered anywhere in Australia.
It is by far the most extreme, next level Ultra event In Australia.
Covering 135 miles (220 km), 13,000mtrs+ vert within 55 hours - single stage non-stop from start to finish, competitors will adventure across the single trails of the Lerderderg State Forest 75Km West of Melbourne Australia.
DU135 is the race where the cliché of 'finding my limits' can genuinely be enacted. The race is not just about finishing. Most starters understand the enormity of the challenge in front of them and appreciate the race for what it gives them.....
A chance to find their limits.
This race is not for the athlete who has an ego about their DNF rate.
Making it to half way, you will still achieve 110km and 6000m+ of vert. These numbers alone (on paper) equate to the hardest 100km race in the nation.
The 2024 event has been created by John Baseley to document the extraordinary display of human character in Ultrarunning in his first long form documentary.
