Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko: Oceania’s Alpine Ultra-Trail

Crafted to create the ultimate runner’s high, Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko by UTMB is Oceania’s Alpine Ultra-Trail, taking place in Australia’s alps, the Snowy Mountains, amongst granite outcrops and snow gum forests. You’ll come for the epic trails and end up staying a while for a cheeky local brew, a spot of fishing or just relaxing lakeside with family and friends in Australia’s ultimate alpine playground.

This event isn’t just about pushing your limits on the trail—it’s about fully immersing yourself in the unique beauty of Australia’s alpine wilderness. With snow-capped peaks and crystal-clear streams, the Snowy Mountains provide a setting that’s as rewarding for the senses as it is for your fitness goals. Whether you’re an experienced ultra-runner or tackling a longer distance for the first time, the scenery alone makes every kilometre worth it.

Once you’ve crossed the finish line, the adventure continues. The Snowy Mountains offer a wealth of activities for runners and their families. Take some time to enjoy the peaceful lakeside, cast a fishing line into the alpine waters, or explore the local hiking trails that wind through this incredible landscape. And when you’re ready to relax, head to a nearby brewery for a cold local brew, a perfect way to toast your accomplishment.

With thrilling trails, stunning scenery, and plenty of ways to relax and recharge afterward, Oceania’s Alpine Ultra-Trail is more than just a race—it’s a full alpine experience that promises memories beyond the finish line.
