Run Larapinta is a 4-day, 4-stage trail running race along the most spectacular sections of the Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory, from 27 to 30 August 2015.

The event offers two course distance options to cater for runners of all levels: The Malbunka – a long course option with stages of 20-45km each day, and The Namatjira - a short course option with stages of 10-30km each day. 

The quality of the running along the Larapinta Trail, combined with the incredible setting in Australia’s Red Centre, the friendly camaraderie amongst runners and the awe of the outback will give all competitors an extraordinary event experience.

The Larapinta Trail is one of Australia’s most spectacular walking trails and trekking experiences as it traverses an iconic 223km route from the Historic Telegraph Station at Alice Springs to the lofty summit of Mt Sonder in the MacDonnell Ranges.

The trail is quickly emerging as one of Australia’s most popular and renowned treks and is well recognised internationally with travellers coming from overseas to experience one of Central Australia’s most unique and spectacular attractions.

Run Larapinta is the latest initiative of event organisers Rapid Ascent who also conduct the Salomon Trail Running Series and the renowned Surf Coast Century 100km ultra-marathon in the Great Ocean Road region.
