About the event
2017 will see the launch of the Snowies Ultra Trail Run Festival, which takes in all the spectacular scenery the Thredbo Valley has to offer, and includes distances of 44k, 20k, 10.5k and 5k courses.
The spectacular Snowy Mountains has some of the best off road running trails in Australia and the Snowies Ultra Trail Run Festival offers courses to challenge runners of all levels including Australia’s elite, right through to our weekend warriors and families.
The Snowies 44k Ultra: Starting at an altitude of 1260m and with an elevation change of 530m this iconic run will present an epic challenge for our elite races as they battle altitude, technical trails and all the Australian bush can dish out in this unforgiving terrain. However, along with the challenge comes great rewards. The backdrop for the race will be Australia’s highest peak, Mt Kosciuszko and the expansive high country vistas that only the iconic Thredbo Valley can offer will be your adventure playground. Add to this the amazing river crossings, bridges and alpine terrain and you have a must-do when it comes to ultra trail running.
Snowies 20k, 10.5k and 5k Trail Run: Blessed with the same amazing high country vistas and terrain but with less of the climbing, runners will be challenged by either the 20k course which ascends the Thredbo Valley to Ngarigo Camp Group, the 10.5k Course which turns at the Diggings camp ground and our 5k course that takes in parts of the Little Thredbo River and all return to Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa for a welcome after party and celebration.
The Snowies Ultra Trail Run Festival is run in conjunction with the TreX Australian Cross Triathlon Championship and the NSW Aquathlon State Championships. Take part in three events across the weekend and be in the running to be crowned NSW Dirt Master, Mini Dirt Master or Junior Dirt Dude! This is a ‘not to be missed’ weekend of off-road action for the entire family.
