Running Wild Alpine Challenge

The Running Wild Alpine Challenge is a premier mountain trail running event held in the Alpine National Park, Victoria, Australia, starting and finishing at Falls Creek. It offers seven distances ranging from 10 km to an ultra 160 km (100 mile) course, featuring challenging terrain with significant ascents and descents, including climbs of Mt Feathertop, Mt Hotham, and Mt Bogong. The event is renowned for its spectacular scenery, tough weather conditions—from heat to snowstorms—and a strong community atmosphere supported by dedicated volunteers.

Courses vary from well-marked short runs to mostly unmarked ultra distances requiring navigation skills. The event emphasizes safety, preparation, and the unique experience of running in the Victorian Alps. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
