We acknowledge the Darramuragal, Darug, and Guringai people, Traditional Custodians of the lands where the Sydney Ultra Marathon takes place, encompassing both Ku-Ring-Gai National Park and Garigal National Park.

As we journey through these sacred spaces, we are constantly reminded of their immense cultural, historical, and spiritual importance to the Aboriginal community. We are grateful for the chance to engage with and appreciate these remarkable landscapes and commit ourselves to preserving their natural and cultural integrity for future generations.

We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognise their profound and ongoing connection to this land.
