Jono O'Loughlin

About

Jono O'Loughlin is a Sydney-based Australian ultrarunner and one of the most devoted participants in the history of the Ultra-Trail Australia (UTA) 100, having completed every edition of the race since its inaugural year in 2008. His unbroken run of consecutive starts and finishes — spanning the event's entire existence through at least 2021 — earned him official Legend of UTA status, making him one of just a handful of runners to hold that distinction. Over those years he steadily built toward his career-best result, finishing as runner-up at the 2019 UTA 100 across the rugged sandstone Blue Mountains of New South Wales. His documented performances include fifth in 2018 (9:55:37) and thirteenth in 2017 (10:33:04), showing consistent improvement through sustained commitment. The Ultra-Trail Australia 100 — run through technically demanding terrain west of Sydney — is one of the most celebrated trail races in the Southern Hemisphere, and O'Loughlin's record of unbroken participation through the race's entire history represents a singular achievement in Australian ultra trail running.
