Event Details
Course Description
The Ultra‑Trail Kosciuszko courses wind through the heart of the Snowy Mountains, starting at Friday Flat in Thredbo. Runners tackle granite outcrops, crystal‑clear streams, and expansive snow‑gum forests before ascending to alpine meadows and the roof of Australia. Elevation gains range from 670 m on the Kosci30 to over 5 km on the KosciMiler, delivering a mix of steep climbs, technical descents and breathtaking vistas. Well‑marked checkpoints and support crews keep you safe on this rugged, high‑altitude terrain.
