We are running up that hill for the Faultline Ultra.

Distances you can enter range from 6km through to 162km. If you're someone who is new to running but wants to challenge yourself to do something a little bit different, take on the 6km or 11km to have a journey up the hill on the Cable Car included in your race.

The Cable Car will be opening early on Sunday the 21st of April for the 6km and 11km from 7.30am to support the event.
