Bright, VIC
The Buffalo Stampede from 27 to 29 March 2026 is part of the internationally prestigious SkyRunning brand that attracts top athletes to the top of the world, where earth and sky meet.
Distances in 2026 include: 100km, 42km, 20km, 10km, 5km and a junior 2km event. There are also two 3-day stage race options - the Ultra Grand Slam (10km + 100km + 42km) and the Stampede Grand Slam (10km + 20km + 42km).
The 100km Bright Ultra can be run solo or in a relay of 4 team members (legs ranging from ~ 22km to ~ 30km).
The Buffalo Stampede is such a special event with spectators coming in from the township to cheers runners on as they climb the surrounding hills and mountains. The sound of Cow bells lets you know you are approaching a summit or aid station.
