Follow event Run/Walk Off Road/Trail Team Relay

The iconic Alpine Challenge at Falls Creek, Victoria from 11 to 13 April 2026 offers a variety of distances ranging from 10km to 100 miles.

The event is without doubt the toughest, most challenging, most spectacular and rewarding of all mountain trail runs in Australia - if not the southern hemisphere, over seven distances.

The 100 mile (160km) course takes in 6 major climbs with 7,600m of ascent and descent including Mt Feathertop, Mt Hotham, Mt McKay, Spion Kopje, Mt Nelse and Victoria’s highest mountain, Mt Bogong plus five river crossings. The 100km involves over 4,000m of ascent and descent and the 60km course over 2,000m of ascent and descent, whilst for those undertaking the 42km run you will have over 900m of ascent. The three short distances offer an opportunity to experience great trail running and some of the historic huts on single tracks with great views over Heathy Spur and Rocky Valley Dam.

Distances from the Marathon up can be run either solo, in teams, or relay teams.
