As they present themselves, this veteran event has already established itself as the most prestigious Ultra Marathon in Queensland, Australia.
This is one of the six states that make up what is called the Commonwealth of Australia, and located in the northeast of the country, it has Brisbane as its capital.
The race runs through the surroundings of the D’Aguilar National Park and connects incredible virgin forests with the iconic Brisbane River.

As we know, this circuit shares with other events such as SALOMON GOLDEN TRAILS or the WMRA WORLD CUP its bet focused on the elites, unlike the UTMB WORLD SERIES, something more focused on moving thousands of popular, with the pull of the «Rolling Stones » for Chamonix.
Therefore, bet on a promotion focused on and for the elite, which is reflected in the monetary prizes for them. In addition to the prizes provided by Spartan, there are gifts from the sponsors in the rest of the distances and a monetary prize for the distance. of 110k.

BRISBANE TRAIL ULTRA 2022
TRAIL RUNNING IN AUSTRALIA
Here comes the part that we all dream of one day but that only a select few have within their reach. Getting on a podium is a wonderful feeling, when they give you a little gift from the sponsors you go home more than happy, but what if, in addition to that, you take the whole pot?
As mentioned before, the STWC circuit does the rest and more to have a good squad of elites running their races and giving them names.
At the Australian event there will be prizes for the top 5 of each gender in the TRAIL ULTRA (BTU100Mi) mode and in the TRAIL RUN (BTU30) mode, so we hope to see big names running through the hills of D’Aguilar National Park.

SPARTAN TRAIL 2022 CALENDAR:
9 RACES & 6 CONTINENTS.
The launch of the new Spartan Trail 2021 circuit generated expectations whose real final development may not have been completed. As happened at the time with the now defunct Ultra Trail World Tour, few fans will be able today to name the champions of the last edition.
However, the American company does not give up and for 2022 launching the second season of the Spartan Trail World Championship, which as we can see maintains the striking business denomination of “World Championship”.
SPARTAN TRAIL 2022: CALENDAR.
The 2022 circuit is significantly weakened by losing a key event, Lavaredo Ultra Trail that after the first experience 2021 has chosen to reassociate with UTMB WORLD SERIES 2022.
