Where Takayna Trail Ultra 22km starts and finishes
Takayna Trail Ultra 22km starts at Men's Shed, Waratah. 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 Takayna Trail Ultra 22km Route Breakdown
The Takayna Trail Ultra offers three ultra‑distances that weave through the untouched Gondwanan rainforests surrounding Waratah. Runners start at the Men’s Shed, then follow forest tracks, river valleys and ridge lines, navigating steep climbs and technical single‑track sections. The 22 km route provides a fast, yet hilly, introduction to the terrain, while the 32 km course adds longer ascents and deeper creek crossings. The 62 km ultra pushes participants through remote wilderness, demanding stamina and navigation skills. Expect moss‑covered roots, occasional rock steps, and spectacular views of the Savage River National Park, with well‑marked checkpoints and support stations along the way.

Training Strategy for Takayna Trail Ultra 22km
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 13.67-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 Men's Shed, Waratah 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.
13.67-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.
