Where Feral Pig Ultra 23km (Pork Chop) starts and finishes
Feral Pig Ultra 23km (Pork Chop) starts at Bibbulmun Track, between North Bannister and Kalamunda. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.
Full Feral Pig Ultra 23km (Pork Chop) Route Breakdown
The Feral Pig Ultra follows the Bibbulmun Track through the jarrah and marri forests of the Perth Hills, running between North Bannister and Kalamunda before finishing at Perth Hills Discovery Centre, Mundaring. The course is genuinely rugged single track, climbing steadily through granite outcrops and dense bushland with little respite - total ascent ranges from 721m on the 23km Pork Chop up to 4,245m on the full 162km 100 Miler (Feral Pig). Nine fully manned aid stations and up to three unmanned water points are spread along the route, with drop bags permitted for all ultra distances. Runners should expect isolated, exposed sections, warm to hot late-spring conditions, and a course that organisers describe as brutal and unforgiving - it demands solid trail navigation and heat-management experience.

Training Strategy for Feral Pig Ultra 23km (Pork Chop)
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 14.29-mile race. Combine a weekly long run with threshold work so you can hold pace over the full distance.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Bibbulmun Track, between North Bannister and Kalamunda fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
14.29-Mile Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.
Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.
Fluid at the on-course stations is usually enough; some runners take a single gel around the hour mark.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
