DownUnder135
is one of the Southern Hemisphere's
Gnarliest Foot Races
DownUnder135 is an authentically challenging ultra endurance foot race, designed by the race committee to provide the Australian ultra community with an experience like no other.
DownUnder135 is created by 5 mates who have shown and proven in its first 6 editions that DU135 is one of the gnarliest, super demanding and extreme foot races offered anywhere in Australia. Covering 135 miles (220 km) single stage non-stop from start to finish, competitors will adventure across the single trails of the Lerderderg State Forest in Victoria located only 55km west of the Melbourne Airport and CBD.
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 6500m+ of vert. These numbers alone (on paper) equate to the hardest 100km race in the nation.

In 2024 we reversed the course to start / finish in Blackwood, in 2025 the race will go back to its roots and start and finish again at Mackenzie's Flat Picnic Area, Darley.
So you could say we are reversing it again.
