THE RACE
Now established and offering a unique trail run experience, Kosciuszko Ultra Trail by UTMB is now a bucket-list race! Not sure if we will see snow every year, but it certainly highlighted the beauty of running in the alpine region! The 2024 event offers distances of 27km, 50km, 100km and a 100 Miler.
“Developed by the hearts and minds behind Oceania’s premier trail runs Ultra-Trail Australia by UTMB and Tarawera Ultramarathon by UTMB, Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko by UTMB has been created to extract that same endorphin kick you get from running any of these iconic events.
With variable terrain, the courses have been expertly crafted by UTA founder Tom Landon-Smith, linking together routes that create trail running nirvana as you ascend to the highest point in Australia.
Trail running is a community that we’re proud to belong to. Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko by UTMB is designed with that community at its heart; with unrivalled support crew access, unique spectator points, and an unmistakeable trail running vibe. You’ll need to be quick though, with extremely limited spots available on each of the start lines, the FOMO is going to be all too real.”
Entries and dates are yet to be finalised but Trail Trips will be ready for when the announcements are made, to take care of all your needs! Stay tuned and be ready to lock in a Trail Trips tour to Kosciuszko!
