For Wild Places

For Wild Places is dedicated to turning passionate outdoor enthusiasts into wild place advocates, through sport. We call it Sports Activism.

For Wild Places hopes to create lasting change within the outdoor space. Our desire to harness the power of movement and energy is not a fad; it’s a commitment to life-long action and engagement. We hope that the ripples we create will spread far and wide, reaching the global outdoor community. The early days of FWP will focus on harnessing the community we know best, by focusing on trail running and the existing relationships and extensive experience we have within the sport.

Right now, Toni Gracia, former PU race director is on race at UTMB. We are all so incredibly proud of Toni and all the work she’s done to get there - and for everything we know she will give this iconic, brutal race.

Also out on course is , who has taken out multiple podiums at the Pilliga Ultra in the past few years, and epitomises the passion and love the trail community has for nature and the Pilliga.

We’ll be following Toni & Tom’s progress over the next hours and days, and wish them all the best out there! We are sure they could do with some encouragement, so pop some well wishes in the comments for these two Pilliga legends! 🙌🏽🫶🏃‍♀️

Last year, the PU10 was our most popular race, but this year, our other races are leading the charge in registrations!

While we love the enthusiasm for the longer (and harder!) races, we want to see as many people as possible toeing the starting line at 4 pm on Friday, 18th September to bring the ✨vibes ✨as we kick off PU2026!

If you’re a hiker or new to running, then the 10k event is perfect for you. With the option of a 3.30 pm early start for hikers and a 6 pm cut-off, there is plenty of time to hit the trails and experience the beauty of the Pilliga forest for yourself. We also love seeing so many young athletes out there - runners under 18 must have written approval from a guardian (completed at registration). And dogs are welcome too! 🐕

Feel like a slow yet satisfying jaunt through the beautiful Pilliga forest on Saturday 19th September?

We are on the lookout for volunteers to help with sweeping the 50k course on Saturday 20th from 6am - 6pm. Distances vary from 8km - 30km, with some running, but mostly hiking! Sweeping is a great way to experience the course and be an essential piece of the event puzzle.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know, hit us up 👇🏽 or slide into our DM’s ➡️ or fill in the volunteer form 📑 via link in bio 🔗

The Pilliga Ultra brings people together to celebrate the Pilliga, learn from those who know it best and stand alongside the communities working to protect it.

The Gomeroi community have helped shape the event since the very beginning, and their ongoing involvement is a big part of what makes it so special.

As part of our commitment to inclusion and diversity in trail running, we’re offering a limited number of complimentary race entries to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Whether you’re joining us to run, hike, volunteer or simply spend time with a community that cares deeply about protecting the Pilliga, we’d love to welcome you.
