Overview

Held in Beaufort, Australia, Pace the Pyrenees was a 50k trail race organised by Pace the Pyrenees that debuted on June 6, 2026. The inaugural running concluded with 22 finishers navigating the fixed-distance 50-kilometre course, establishing its presence among 2762 recorded events within the wider 50k category.

That turnout placed the event in a modest tier compared to similar trail events globally: it drew a bigger field than 34% of 50k races, but proved smaller than 64%. For participants on race day, this kept the trails uncrowded from the outset, eliminating the congestion typical of larger ultra fields while leaving runners to cover significant stretches in relative isolation.

Entry fees for the single 2026 edition were set between $110 and $155, reflecting the inaugural staging of this standalone Australian trail ultra.
