🎙️ BENNY MATTHEWS – SCENIC RIM 100 MILE RACE BREAKDOWN

Want to hear what the Scenic Rim Ultra 100 Miler is really like from the other side of the start line?

Benny Matthews has just dropped a full race review on his Dose of Benny Podcast, breaking down his experience taking on our inaugural 100 Miler — 163km, around 6,000m of elevation and one seriously brutal course. 🔥

I always enjoy hearing these race breakdowns because as an organiser, you see the event from one perspective — but out on course, every runner has their own story, their own battles and their own moments where things either come together or start falling apart.

Benny gives a great insight into what unfolded for him out there and what it actually takes to tackle something like the Scenic Rim 100.

And while you’re there, have a listen to some of his other episodes. Benny has plenty of great information around ultra running, training, nutrition, preparation and mindset that is well worth a listen.

If you’re thinking about lining up for the Scenic Rim 100 Miler one day, this might give you a pretty good idea of what you’re signing yourself up for! 😂🤠

SCENIC RIM ULTRA — 10KM… WELL, SORT OF 😂

The 10km is meant to be your introduction to the Scenic Rim Ultra.

A taste of trail running, some climbing, stunning country and a chance to experience the atmosphere of the whole event.

That was the plan anyway… 😂

Our 2026 runners got a little more Scenic Rim Ultra than they signed up for. A wrong turn early in the race turned the 10km into an unexpected 13–14km adventure, with a fair bit more elevation thrown in for free.

Nobody actually ordered the 10km PLUS package, but everyone made it back safely and were absolute legends about it. 😂

The actual course is a cracker — through the tunnel, onto the grass trails and across the Goan Trail where you’re thinking…

“This is actually pretty nice!”

Then near QMP Moto Park…

BANG. Welcome to Scenic Rim. ⛰️

A short, steep climb takes you onto part of the 100 Mile course, giving you a taste of the terrain our Milers experience around the Loop of Doom section.

That’s what the 10km is all about. Come experience the Scenic Rim Ultra, finish your race, grab a feed and then watch the bigger distances unfold.

Then the dangerous thought starts…

“Next year I might do the 25…”

10 becomes 25.
25 becomes 42.
42 becomes 65.
65 becomes 105.

And before you know it, you’re standing on a start line at 3am wondering how the hell you ended up in a 100 Miler. 😂

Our 2026 crew might not have got the 10km we promised…

But they definitely got the Scenic Rim experience. 🤣🔥⛰️

🏆 SCENIC RIM ULTRA 2026 – 100 MILER PODIUM RESULTS 🏆

163KM.
6000M+ ELEVATION.
ONE SERIOUSLY BIG DAY OUT.

2026 was the inaugural Scenic Rim 100 Miler, and now that people have actually experienced this thing, we're starting to understand exactly what we've created.

The words coming back have been pretty consistent.

Insane. Gnarly. Brutal. Beautiful.

This course is no free belt buckle.

Watching the field slowly get broken down was bittersweet. Every person who stood on that start line had put themselves out there, and for those who didn't make the finish this year, that doesn't take away from what they attempted.

But it also confirmed something.

This course is bloody tough.

It's going to take people multiple attempts to understand it. To work out where to push, where to hold back, how to manage the climbing and how to keep enough in the tank for what comes later.

And that's exactly how a 100 Miler should be.

Then you look at what happened at the front.

Tim Woods — 22hrs 06mins.

An incredible run, and one that immediately raises another question:

Who is going SUB-20?

Because now we know it's there.

And then Tegan Porter.

After a massive performance in the 105km last year, she stepped up for her first ever 100 Miler, went sub-30 hours in 29:26, and was the only female finisher.

Massive.

This race now has somewhere to go.

Faster times. More attempts. More stories. More people coming back after unfinished business.

And one thing sitting there waiting for those prepared to take it on…

The Gold Belt Buckle. 🏆

163km through some of the most spectacular country in the Scenic Rim, with around 6000m of climbing and views that sometimes almost make you forget how much you're hurting.

Almost.

The Scenic Rim 100 Miler has arrived.

Now the question is…

Who wants the next buckle? 🔥⛰️

Male
🥇 Tim Woods — 22hrs 06mins
🥈 Ben Millen — 23hrs 08mins
🥉 Simon Lengenfelder — 24hrs 06mins

Female
🥇 Tegan Ports — 29hrs 26mins
