This series combines the greatest trail races from around the world into a defined bucket list for those seeking to experience the diversity in the sport of trail running.

The landscapes, trails and cultures that bring these events to life are truly mind boggling and we cannot wait for the world to come and see everything that the Grampians/Gariwerd mountains in Victoria have to offer.“

Gran Canaria World Trail Majors welcomes the GPT100

Gran Canaria World Trail Majors is excited to have the GPT100 join its World Class list of races, offering adventure and experience for amateur and professional runners, sporting and cultural journeys beyond distance and elevation gain. Australia, the state of Victoria and GPT100 are another of those places where you must go once in your life.

Steve Brammar, co-director of the Anta Hong Kong 100 commented:

“All the Gran Canaria World Trail Majors races wish a warm welcome to the Grampian Peaks Trail 100 team. Some of us were lucky enough to be at the GPT100 races in November and see for ourselves the beautiful landscapes, the highly professional organisation, the super-friendly volunteers and the abundant wildlife.

With kangaroos, parakeets, cockatoos, echidnas and emus greeting us everyday, it was an unforgettable adventure. Now that GPT100 is in the World Trail Majors we have a good excuse to go back to the Grampians / Gariwerd, and we can’t wait!”
