 Welcome
to the web site for the KEP 100 & 75,
an ultra marathon being held just outside of Perth Western Australia
on the Kep Track, which runs from the Mundaring Weir to Northam.
Two distances are being run, 100km, and 75km.
It's being held on the Foundation Day long weekend, Sunday 6 June, 2010, which
is the week after the running of the Comrades Marathon in South
Africa. This allows Kep runners to sync their training with
people going over to do Comrades if they wish to do so.
The race will start in Northam at 7am for both
the 100km and 75km runners. The Kep Track has been built mainly
on rail reserve, the trail has a low gradient and compacted
gravel surface
The 75km route follows the complete Kep Track,
while the 100km run also includes a large section of the Perth
Hills Railways Reserve Heritage Trail which runs from Mt Helena
down to Bellevue and back up to Mundaring Weir.
The track runs through numerous towns along
the way, so water and toilet facilities are nearly always quite
close at hand.
