Full Off The Beaten Track New Moon Ultra 6.7km Route Breakdown

The New Moon Ultra takes place on the exclusive Hold It Flats trail network near Yalboroo. Runners complete a 6.7 km loop that repeats each hour, tackling gentle gradients and varied bushland terrain that shifts from open flats to winding forest sections. The course is open from 8 am through day and night, so participants experience changing light conditions and cooler evening temperatures. The 12‑lap (80.4 km) and 24‑lap (106.8 km) challenges push endurance, while a junior 1‑lap start at 3 pm offers a shorter, fun introduction. Scenic views of the Mackay hinterland and well‑marked tracks keep the race safe and rewarding.

Training Strategy for Off The Beaten Track New Moon Ultra 6.7km

Standard Training Window

6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 4.16-mile race. Combine a weekly long run with threshold work so you can hold pace over the full distance.

Terrain Specificity

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.

The Taper Phase

Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at the start line fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.

Pacing Execution

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.

Fuel & Hydration Prep

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.

4.16-Mile Nutrition & Fueling Plan

2-3 Days Prior

A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.

Race Morning

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.

On-Course Fueling

No on-course fuel is needed at this distance for most runners — water stations are the usual provision.

Post-Race Recovery

A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
