2025 IAU 24-Hour World Championships – Applications Now Open

The 24 Hour World Championships is the purest test of endurance, where physical strength meets mental grit and every step forward is a decision made with purpose. On October 18–19, 2025, the world’s best ultra athletes will converge on Albi, France. For a select group of Australians, this will be the ultimate chance to wear the green and gold and race with pride, heart, and resilience.

Whether you’ve been building towards this for years or have recently broken through to a new level, this is your moment to step up, stand tall, and be part of something bigger.
