Course Description

The Razorback Run starts and finishes at Harrietville Caravan Park, nestled in the heart of Alpine National Park. Runners can choose from three distances: a 62‑km ultra‑marathon that traverses high‑altitude ridgelines and alpine meadows, the 37‑km Good Loop which follows a scenic circuit of forested valleys and river crossings, and the 22‑km Razorback Ridge that tackles steep climbs and rewarding summit views. All courses are marked and feature a mix of single‑track trails, fire‑tracks and occasional gravel sections, offering technical challenges and breathtaking vistas of snow‑capped peaks, native eucalyptus forests and glacial lakes. Aid stations are positioned at regular intervals, providing water, electrolytes and morale‑boosting snacks.

Weather & What to Pack

March in Victoria falls in the Australian autumn, bringing cool daytime temperatures that typically range from 10 °C to 18 °C in the Alpine region, with colder mornings and evenings. Expect occasional crisp breezes and a chance of light rain, especially at higher elevations. Runners should dress in layered, moisture‑wicking clothing, bring a waterproof jacket, hat and gloves for early starts, and stay hydrated with water and electrolytes. Sun protection is still important on clear days.
