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 5 June, 2011, 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 Railway Reserves Heritage Trail which runs from Mt Helena down to Bellevue and back up to Mundaring.

The track runs through numerous towns along the way, so water and toilet facilities are nearly always quite close at hand.

If you're possibly interested in running the event please contact me via email on rdonkers@iinet.net.au and I'll add you to the Kep 2011 mailing list.
