Overview
The Australian Alpine Ascent (AAA) Ultra Festival is specifically designed to be the world’s most gruelling set of single day challenges held within daylight hours. The festival includes three trail runs 12km, 25km and 50km.
You’ll cross through the scenic Kosciuszko National park, with a stunning start and finish at Charlotte Pass Village; 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.
This Festival is quickly becoming 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.
** The festival is now SOLD OUT – sign up to be placed on a wait list for the 25km/50km events here **
