Melbourne Ultra Marathons

Melbourne's ultra scene leans on its river and parkland trails. The Melbourne Frontyard Ultra and the MVP Backyard Ultra at Brimbank Park test how far you can go on a last-runner-standing format, while festivals on the city's fringe offer 50km-plus options through bush and along the Yarra.
