Turn up to the Kosci 30 prepared.

The Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko (UTK) by UTMB is one of Australia’s most scenic and exciting trail events — and the UTK30 is the perfect way to experience it. Starting in Perisher and finishing in Thredbo, this 32km course offers stunning alpine views, flowy singletrack, and an unforgettable introduction to the world of trail running.

If UTK30 is your first big trail event — or your first event ever — we’ve got you covered. Our dedicated training plan is designed to help you build confidence, fitness, and strength in a way that’s achievable and enjoyable. No guesswork, no burnout — just consistent, smart training that sets you up to enjoy every step of the journey.

The plan begins with a 12-week base phase to gradually build your aerobic fitness and trail-running strength, followed by a 16-week race-focused block that gets you ready for elevation, technical trails, and pacing on race day. You’ll finish your training feeling prepared, capable, and excited to cross that finish line at Friday Flat.

Whether you’re chasing a personal challenge or your first taste of trail magic, this plan will help you make UTK30 an experience to remember.

Frequently asked questions

Is this program suitable for a beginner?

Chevron

This program is suitable for someone who has been training consistently for 6 months and is able to comfortably run 8km – 10km regularly on undulating terrain without injuries. You may be completely new to trail running and not used to running on hilly or technical terrain.rnrnThis program builds to a long run of 23km, and the biggest volume weeks are 38-45km.

Can you help me train when I'm injured?

Chevron

Probably, depending on your injury. We are very sorry to hear you are injured. We know how difficult that can be. If you have an injury that requires some rest from running, there are almost always some cross-training options available to help you maintain your fitness, strength, and sanity. By cross-training while you are injured, and including some simple strength, stretching and foam rolling routines, you will speed up your recovery time and ultimately make your return to running easier and more successful.rnrnYou can start our free 4 week cross training plan now for FREE. It will help you to identify appropriate exercises based on your injury type and recommend what cross training methods will work best for your injury. When you are ready you can start our 10-week return to running program or one of our run-specific rehab plans.

Can I start this program late?

Chevron

You get immediate access to your training plan when you join. You can view the current week plus any previous weeks. We recommend that you start with a weekly volume that your body is currently able to cope with, which might mean starting on the beginner level before moving to intermediate a few weeks later.
