Australian Alpine Ascent

One of the hottest tickets on the calendar, Australia's highest altitude 25k /50k trail runs sees athletes summit Mount Kosciuszko and take in the breath-taking scenery of the Snowy Mountains.
Returning in 2020 is the biannual 3k /113k /22k Ultra Triathlon!

The Australian Alpine Ascent (AAA) Triathlon Festival is a two day 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, “into 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.

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.
