The Ultra Marathon is Trail to Triumph's flagship endurance event — a multi-day run across the coalfields of central Queensland that honours the legacy of Tony Britton and raises awareness for occupational dust diseases. It's a powerful blend of physical challenge, storytelling and community spirit.
