60 DAY RUNNING CHALLENGE HOW TO
If you are unsure how to use a map and compass check out the link below or go to rogaining or orienteering. To ensure against technology failure all participants need to be able to navigate with map/compass or GPS. The course follows bush walking trails and is generally easy to follow using map, course notes and the Avenza interactive map, which shows your location on the course in real time on your smartphone. The 42/60/100/160 km courses are generally unmarked however, major decision points (ie points where people have a tendency to go the wrong way) are marked. Navigation: In order to encourage participation in the short course distances (10/16/25 km) these are well marked with flags and directional signs. Location: Alpine National Park, Victoria, AustraliaĮquipment: Refer to Mandatory Safety Gear Participants are advised to train for all conditions, including running in storms, snow and at night.ĭate November Edition: Saturday 25 November–Monday 27 November 2023 Whilst the event organisers can take action to reduce risk to participants, they cannot eliminate it, as a result runners need to be prepared to run in all conditions or have the experience and sense to decide not to run at all on the day. It also offers the most challenging weather conditions, from intense heat during the day or snowstorms and driving rain, to subzero temperatures at night. The three short distances-10/16/25 km-offer an opportunity to experience great trail running and some of the historic huts on single tracks with great views over Heathy Spur and Rocky Valley Dam. The 100 km involves over 4,000 m of ascent and descent and the 60 km course over 2,000 m of ascent and descent, whilst for those undertaking the 42 km run you will have over 900 m of ascent.
60 DAY RUNNING CHALLENGE PLUS
The 100 mile (160 km) course takes in 6 major climbs with 7,600 m of ascent and descent including Mt Feathertop, Mt Hotham, Mt McKay, Spion Kopje, Mt Nelse and Victoria’s highest mountain, Mt Bogong plus five river crossings.
The Alpine Challenge is without doubt the toughest, most challenging, most spectacular and rewarding all mountain trail run in Australia-if not the southern hemisphere over seven distances. In order to enable more people to experience the magic of the Victorian Alps and savour the atmosphere of this unique event we have introduced a number of short course distances of 10/16/25 km as well as adding in a new marathon distance taking in the best of the high plains whilst offering fantastic scenery on a challenging course. Thank you again for all your hard work putting on an amazing race weekend. Of all the Alpine events I have taken part in over the years I have found Running Wild to be the most well organised events with such a high standard of safety and always such a positive and friendly vibe. They honestly made the day and I was blown away by how wonderful they were. Each and every checkpoint we were met with amazingly friendly and supportive volunteers despite the time of day or night.
I just wanted to say thank you for such a great event over the weekend and wanted to make special mention of all the volunteers. To give you a taste of what it could be like on the course, watch the video compiled by the Eventurers 100 mile-100 km-60 km -42 km-25 km-16 km-10 km Individual-Team-Relay Challenge
