πŸ“Έ GET YOUR RACE PHOTOS NOW! πŸ“Έ

For all competitors, Australian Alpine Ascent takes sheer determination, bravery, endurance and stamina. You deserve to show off your achievements, your bragging rights as they say. Thanks to the professional photographers from GeoSnapShot, your memories have been preserved for time to come.

The ultra triathletes braved the fresh alpine waters of Lake Jindabyne, rode from Jindabyne to Charlotte Pass (via Dead Horse Gap for you Extremers), then, along with the tough ultra trail runners who have already embraced the crisp thin alpine air of Charlotte Pass, ran to Perisher, out-and-back from the Schlink Track to Guthega, then out across the Snowy River to the Main Range Track where the trail took you all to the top, the very top - 2,228 metres of Mt Kosciuszko! And then back down to run through victory alley at Charlotte Pass Village.

Our Story

The Australian Alpine Ascent (AAA) Festival is a festival of events event specifically designed to be the world’s most gruelling set of single day challenges held within daylight hours. This new world class location will test even the toughest of competitors and those willing to take the challenge, β€œinto thin air”. From the initial swim locations of either Lake Crackenback or Lake Jindabyne (both at altitude) you will transition onto the cycle which will see you reach heights up to 1964m before throwing on your shoes for a run which will be a combination of road and trail tracks. You’ll cross through locations like Dead Horse Gap, Smiggen Holes, Charlottes Pass, and the Thredbo Village Green; it’s brutal, but it’s beautiful and the courses have been designed to showcase the very best of the Snowy Mountains along the way.

2018 will feature 2 new tough additions to this β€œtough festival with a 25k and 50k trail run that will see athletes Summit Austrialia’s highest peak. Mount Kosciuszko.

This Festival will become the Southern Hemispheres benchmark event, testing speed, stamina and strength and is expected to draw a world-class group of endurance athletes set to take on new heights Down Under.
