⚡ The Race Within the Race: Hell Hole Hustle ⚡

Think you've got speed left in the legs? Here's your chance to prove it.

The Hell Hole Hustle is a timed segment hidden within The Guzzler Ultra, exclusive to our 50km and 100km events. The fastest male and female through the segment will each earn the title of Hell Hole Hustle Champion and take home a $100 voucher from The Trail Co.

📍 The segment starts as you leave McAfees Lookout Checkpoint and finishes at the South Boundary Road junction.

Over 3.3km you'll tackle:
⬇️ 243m of fast fire trail descent
💧 A creek crossing
⬆️ 176m of steep climbing back out of Hell Hole

100km runners get two attempts, with their fastest split counting.

At the end of the Hustle, the legends from Brisbane 4WD Club will be waiting with FIXX CrampFix shots to help relieve and prevent cramps after one of the toughest climbs on the course.

To be eligible:
✔️ You must finish your full 50km or 100km event within the official cut-offs.
✔️ Winners are determined by the event timing mats, not Strava.
✔️ Good sportsmanship is expected—unsportsmanlike behaviour will result in disqualification.

Will you chase the Hell Hole Hustle title, or save your legs for the finish?

Did you know that taking the time to nail your trail nutrition strategy is just as important as ticking off your weekly training blocks? ⛰️🏃‍♂️

NUTRITION PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN ULTRA RUNNING & WILL HELP YOU REACH THAT FINISH LINE.

Long-distance running isn’t just about putting in the kilometres; nutrition is your absolute secret weapon for sustaining energy, boosting performance, and optimising your post-race recovery.

WHY NUTRITION MATTERS OUT IN THE HILLS:

🏃‍♂️ Sustained Performance: Our bodies can only sustain exercise for about one hour without supplemental nutrition. For ultra-distances lasting much longer, it's essential to constantly replenish your energy with carbohydrates throughout the day (and night!).

🏃‍♂️ Hydration & Electrolytes: Proper hydration and replenishing electrolytes are key to maintaining peak performance, avoiding dehydration, reducing fatigue, and fighting off muscle cramping on those steep climbs.

Getting your race day nutrition right requires practice and planning during your long training runs—and that's where Fixx Nutrition comes in.

As your official on-course nutrition partner, Fixx Nutrition is here to help you optimise your strategy, so you can have your absolute best experience out there on the course.

⏳ One Month to Go!

Yesterday marked one month until our 100km and 50km runners hit the trails, and today we're officially one month away from the 21km and 10km events.

Behind the scenes, preparations are ramping up. Course marking plans are being finalised, bib collection is coming together, checkpoint crews are locked in, shuttle bus schedules are confirmed, food trucks and event village vendors are booked, and this year's finisher medals have arrived.

We've also just released our official event merchandise online, so you can get race-day ready before the big weekend.

In just one month's time, hundreds of runners will be standing on the start line. Will you be one of them?

The 21km has officially SOLD OUT, but there's still time to join us in the 100km, 50km or 10km. Just don't leave it until race weekend—there are no on-the-day entries, and once registrations close, you'll have to wait until next year.

You'll forget the burning legs. You'll forget the steep climbs.

But you'll never forget that finish line feeling.

The moment you stop your watch. The hugs from your mates. The finisher's medal around your neck. The overwhelming realisation that you actually did it.

The Guzzler 100km will test you. But the feeling at the end is worth every step.

Don't spend another year wondering "what if?"

Make 2026 the year you find out.

It Wouldn’t Be the Same Without You…

We are exactly six weeks away from The Guzzler ⏳, and the Volunteer Portal is now officially open!

Volunteers are crucial to our success, and if you want to be involved without running, we would love to have you along. We have a variety of shifts available before, during, and after the event:

🌿 Out on course (keeping runners safe)
🌿 At checkpoints & aid stations (the ultimate vibe creators)
🌿 At the start & finish lines (the best front-row seats)

There is bound to be a time and role to suit your availability and interest.

👉 See available roles and volunteer today: https://www.theguzzlerultra.com.au/volunteer/

Have any questions? Send us a message, and we'll be happy to help!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping to make The Guzzler possible. Let’s make Year 8 an unforgettable one! 🙌

⚠️ Important Event Tee Collection Update ⚠️

Please Note: Tees are not currently available for early pickup. They can only be collected during the official race-week windows listed below.

If you qualified for the free Guzzler event tee by signing up before 1 Feb (or got lucky and scored one through a transfer), please read carefully below on how and when to collect it!

📍 Collecting your bib from The Trail Co?
Your tee will be packed with your bib and available for collection only during the official pre-race bib pickup dates (dates coming soon!).

📍 Chose bib postage?
Your bib is coming to your mailbox, but your tee will be waiting for you to collect from the event precinct across race weekend itself.

Please note:
❌ Tees will not be shipped: Postage only applies to race bibs.
❌ There will be no opportunity to collect your tee after the event.

We would hate for anyone to miss out on their bright and funky Guzzler tee, so please make sure you grab it during these specific collection windows!

If you have any questions, please get in touch with the team.

There comes a moment in every ultra where the legs are heavy, the climbs feel endless, and the only thing carrying you forward is grit.

That’s the moment The Guzzler is really about.

Not the medals. Not the finish line photo. But the quiet decision to keep moving when everything in you wants to stop.

Through the dark. Through the doubt. Through another climb you never thought you could conquer.

And then somehow… the sun rises, the body keeps going, and you realise you’re capable of far more than you believed.

The Guzzler 100km isn’t just a race. It’s a reckoning with yourself.
