50 KM

The 50 km is our most popular category. We’ll drop you at the stunning Trezona campground before sending you on some of the most incredible trails around Ikara. Fuel up at the Yanyanna aid station and try not to get too distracted at the Bunyeroo Lookout before passing Wilcolo and Wilpena stations and starting the Tanderra Saddle loop in the afternoon sun.
