Terrain & Elevation

The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with gravel (45%) and trail (38%) being the most common and neither clearly dominating. The terrain is highly fragmented, switching roughly every kilometre. This demands constant mental engagement and limits the ability to build a sustained rhythm from surface consistency alone. Uphills are predominantly on trail (62% of ascending sections). Descents are mainly on gravel (67% of descending sections).

Midwinter Mortimer Trail Ultra has 21.1 km of gravel / track, this is in the top 32% of all our races.
