13.01.2022 Jacqui Cosgrove is a long term support of Centennial Park Ultra and for the second year in a row, she and her family have given up their Sunday to prepare, cook and served everyone. We are delighted to have the opportunity to support Jacqui too. She is fundraising for Can Too Run and Swim and we want to help her SMASH the goal. $5 or $10 or $100, it all goes to a fantastic cause of support great medical research. https://www.cantoo.org.au/fundraisers/JacquiCosgroverun16

05.01.2022 Update 12th April 2019 We had positive discussions with Centennial Parklands so far and here's where we are at. CPUltra sits in a grey area of the events application process. We are too small for a major event category but too big for the Sports & Rec department. Both departments and their respective managers are reviewing our EOI to revive the event and will get back to us POST-Easter break. ... So what can you do? Well, you can jump Centennial Parklands' page and tell them how much you love this event and for them to support us in our bid to bring this event back. Additionally, we are going back to our roots as per the founder's April Palmerlee vision - CPUltra is a not-for-profit event and one that supports a local Charity. For the next few years, this event will be supporting Outruncancer. #WatchThisSpace #CPUltra #BuzzAndLuca #WeMissU2

04.01.2022 Updates (or the lack of) Thank you everyone for your interest for what would be our 8th year running of the Centennial Park Ultra. Sadly it's a work in progress. We are in limbo in terms of the department hosting us. We are too big for the 'social sports' category but are too 'small' for the major events team (and we certainly don't have the funds for 5000 fees) They are reviewing our layout again after much pleading and will be letting us know. If we aren't able to get a confirmation from the Parklands in the next 2 weeks, the event is unlikely to be held. We will be more active in updating you over the next few days and weeks. Thank you. Team CpUltra

03.01.2022 #UPDATE Dear runners It is with heavy heart to inform you all that the annual Centennial Park Ultra Marathon presented by Running Science, which was scheduled for August 4th, 2017, will not be going ahead. ... Since it's inception back in 2011, CPUltra has always been focused on you, the runners, and providing you the most personalised and community experience. We are proud to say that, year on year, we were able to deliver that. This is reflected by the growth of the participants; from a humble 40 runners to over 350 solo and team runners in 2016. The growth of CPUltra meant we no longer fit into the current Parklands 'social sports' category, but now, 'major events.' My team and I were initially excited by our new categorisation, as it would give us the opportunity to scale the event (bigger start and finishing chute, a diverse side program for families while the race is going on, and more importantly, continuing to give more value to you, our dearest participants). However, the significant increase in fee and the short time frame does not allow us to make this a viable event without increasing the entry fee or compromising our standards and safety. What now? Great question. This certainly isn't the end for CPUltra. We want to continue to serve you, and we are committed to work with Centennial Parklands on a viable and sustainable model that will allow us to come back in 2018 for our eighth edition. There are questions regarding refunds for those who had deferred their entries, as well as a few for whom we had agreed to refund 2016 fees. We are ready to process them. Please send an email to [email protected] I like to take this opportunity to thank these supporters ; Without you, this event would not have lasted 7 years. Running Science (our dearest and amazing preseting partner) Athletics NSW (Amazing support from our state body) iMove Physiotherapy (Specialist runners Physio clinic) Tailwind Nutrition Australia (All that you need. Period!) Roccet ID (Simplified runners ID solutions!) Love you all) Achilles Sydney (We look forward to be able to support you and your group) Centennial Parklands (Thank you for allowing us the use of the space last seven years. We would like to continue to work with you for the eight edition and beyond) My runners and running groups. I will miss you dearly. But trust that we do all within our means to bring this event back. In the meantime, we urge you to let Centennial Parklands know that you would like us back, and for them to help us on a sustainable plan for the future of this amazing community event. My deepest apology Keith 'Buzz' HONG Race Director
