Mil-Lel Marathon
April 17 @ 8:00 AM – April 20 @ 5:00 PM
Welcome to the Mil-Lel Marathon 2025
The South Australian Endurance Rider’s Association and the Heinrich/ Bright Family from Meldana Arabians, proudly welcome you to the Mil Lel Marathon.
We would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of this land that we ride and camp on. The Bungandidj people. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
Running since 2011, we look forward to sharing our twelfth Mil-Lel event with you. This is a special place for our family and we enjoy returning to our old stomping ground to bring you this event. With the introduction of the 240km Marathon event in 2019, the Ousley trophy was created in the name of Harry and Michelle Ousley. Vet Harry and his wife Michelle have been long-time supporters of the annual Mil-Lel ride. The trophy is in the form of a beautiful, locally crafted, redgum apple and is awarded to the horse and rider combination of the vet’s choice. The Apple is representative of the Apple trees that line the road around the Mil-Lel grounds. The fruit ripens around Easter time each year, fuelling both the horses and riders.
At Mil-Lel we pride ourselves on creating a family event. We endeavour to run a ride that is inclusive of all ages and abilities. We hope that your participation can foster that ethos too.
So good luck, happy riding and we wish you every success for the 2025 Mil-Lel Marathon!
Kind Regards
Team Meldana
