Bigger Climbs. Deeper Valleys. The UTA Miler Awaits
The UTA Miler is the newest and toughest addition to the Ultra-Trail Australia lineup. Starting in the Grose Valley, this race showcases a side of the Blue Mountains few runners have experienced — rugged trails, remote valleys, and relentless climbs that seem to go on forever. The unique landscape shifts dramatically as you make your way through ancient forest, dramatic ridgelines, and breathtaking escarpment views before linking back into the classic UTA course in the Jamison Valley.
Training for 100 miles in the Blue Mountains is no small task. The climbs are long, the terrain is unforgiving, and the challenge goes far beyond fitness alone — it demands patience, mental strength, and months of consistent training.
To help you prepare, we’ve built a UTA Miler-specific training plan designed to carry you all the way from base fitness through to race day.
Too many runners line up at UTA either over-trained, under-prepared, or not ready for the unique demands of the Grose Valley. Our structured approach ensures you’ll build the endurance, strength, and resilience needed to handle the big climbs, technical trails, and the long night out on course.
This plan has been specifically created to help you reach your UTA 2026 goal — whether that’s crossing the line for your first 100 miles, running strong deep into the night, or chasing your best-ever performance on Australian trails.

What our members say
I attempted the KosciMiler in 2023 but had it called it at 130km. In 2024,
I came back stronger – both physically and mentally and finished my first
miler in 28 hours and 30 mins. It was a solid test of my endurance and a
great training run for the UTAMiler in May 2025. Now, I have a clearer plan
for how to improve and be even better prepared for the next race
Parker Liang
I really, really loved it. My first 100km, it was an epic adventure running in snow for the first part (ankle deep in some parts) and in places I’ve never been before, and the scenery was so beautiful. The volunteers were all amazing, and it was all very well organised. I spent the day after the race going up to the top of Kosci and I can’t imagine how different the event would be with that massive climb on a hot day, a different experience again! Highly recommend the event to anyone it was very enjoyable, and it’s a stunning part of Australia.

I really appreciate everything I have learnt from you over the years. Really wish I had your help and knowledge when I was in my 20s over-training, getting injured all the time, peaking before orienteering races and believing I could eat whatever because I could just burn it off.

Frequently asked questions
Is this program suitable for a first time miler?
This plan is designed for runners stepping up to the 100-mile distance for the first time. You should have at least 2–3 years of consistent training, with experience running a 100km ultra or multiple 50–70km trail events. You should be comfortable running a 25km long run on trails and averaging 50–60km per week. Over 16 weeks, this plan gradually builds your endurance, climbing strength, and mental resilience, while prioritising recovery and injury prevention. You’ll develop strategies for pacing, night running, nutrition, and managing fatigue across a full day (and night) on your feet. First time miler runners are aiming to complete the UTA Miler with steady pacing, strong mindset, and a focus on enjoying the journey to the finish line.
Can you help me train when I'm injured?
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?
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.
