Overview
The Berry Long Run is a 70-kilometer trail race in Blackwood, VIC, Australia, held each August. With 1000 meters of elevation gain across its 70 kilometers, its 14.3 meters of climb per kilometer makes it a hillier event than many other 50-mile races.
The 12-hour time limit imposes a tighter cutoff than 68% of 452 peer 50-mile races, requiring runners to maintain a pace faster than 10.3 minutes per kilometer. The field of 53 finishers in 2025 places this event among the larger 50-mile races, with a bigger field than 54% of 649 comparable races.
