More about the Trail
Think this is a boring uphill slog? THINK AGAIN!
The Thredbo Valley presents some of the best running trails found anywhere in Australia. Yes, you’ll be gaining height, but you’ll be doing it along deceptively undulating trail that twists and turns with flowing descents along the way.
And the Scenery!….
Even though you’re working hard, runners will enjoy some of the most spectacular views in the Snowy Mountains Region as the Thredbo Valley leads you on a gradual climb through a diverse landscape including mountain ash forest, snow gum woodlands, riverine woodlands, mountain bog, wet heath and sub alpine grasslands. Among the many highlights of the trail are the numerous suspension bridges spanning the river, offering runners a brief reprieve from the trails, as well as spectacular views of the Thredbo River from above.
Runners will be afforded rewarding views of Porcupine Rocks exploding out of the rugged realms of the Ramshead Range, and discover a hidden gem in the Muzzelwood Wetlands.

With that in mind, it is however expected that entrants will have trained to be able to run the majority of the event. Expected latest finish times for this event are:
- Ultra Marathon | 9hr:00mins
- Half Marathon | 3hr:30mins
- 11k | 2hrs:00mins
- 5k | 1:00
We focus very much on ‘participation’ which is one of our key corporate principles and within reason make every effort to allow each participant to finish where it is practical.
Signage
Course Signage
The trail run course is signed with red and white In2Adventure arrows, cones and tape. Follow the course as indicated by the signage. It is important to note that the course will also be marked for the TreX Cross Triathlon so please ensure to follow the trail run signage.
In locations where the courses take different routes, A3 signs will be in place indicating the course ie Half, 11k, 5k etc
Marshals will be in place at strategic points throughout the course, however ultimately it is up to each competitor to know and follow the correct course route.

Car Hire
CAR HIRE & DRIVING TO THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS
With limited public transport within the Snowy Mountains car hire is the best option for travelling to the event and enjoying the region while you are there. The drive along the Monaro Highway to the Snowies is one of the most picturesque drives in the country with lots to see and do along the way. Driving distances to the Snowy Mountains are listed below
- Sydney approx 5.5hrs drive View Car Hire Options from Sydney Airport
- Canberra approx 2.5hrs drive View Car Hire Options from Canberra Airport
- Melbourne approx 6.5hrs drive View Car Hire Options from Melbourne Airport
THE DRIVE TO THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS
Driving the Kosciuszko Alpine Way is remarkable. The route winds its way through quaint country towns and alpine villages, with breathtaking views of the majestic mountains and sparkling rivers. Take a stopover along the way at one of the many tourist spots including:
COOMA
Have a break in Cooma and visit the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre and unravel the design and technology of the world famous Snowy Scheme. Walk along Cooma’s Lambie Street to the Raglan Regional Art Gallery, passing the historic stone and timber architecture of the town.
Visit Cooma’s railhead, a functioning attraction with trains running to a regular timetable. Take a detour along Tourist Drive 1 south of Cooma and drive to the top of Mt Gladstone, 3km south of Cooma. Heidi’s Tea House at the top of Mt Gladstone provides great gluhwein and 360° views over
Cooma, the Monaro, the Snowy Mountains and Mt Kosciuszko.
BERRIDALE
Continuing towards the Snowies and just past the Snowy Mountains airport lies Berridale, a cross-roads village that features a local winery and cafés. Take some time to relax and enjoy the peacefulness.
LAKE JINDABYNE
As you get closer to the Snowy Mountains spectacular Lake Jindabyne comes into view. Stop at the Jindabyne Dam wall for some great photos and scenic views. In Jindabyne itself visit the Snowy Region Visitor Centre for park passes and maps, and to view an interpretive display of the towns
amazing history.
In Jindabyne cycle along the lake’s edge, take a scenic or fishing boat charter, take to the air in a scenic flight or hire a runabout or catamaran for time on the water.
In Banjo Patterson park visit the monument to Count Paul Edmund Strzelecki, and learn about his amazing contribution to the region. Fish for Rainbow and Brown Trout, the occasional Brookie or Atlantic salmon from the lake, or in one of the many surrounding streams.
SOME TIPS WHEN DRIVING
1. In Australia we drive on the left – quite important to remember this one
2. Try to avoid driving around dusk and dawn as these are the main times for the local wildlife, including some very big roos, to be out on the road. You don’t want to tangle with them, even in a vehicle.
3. Don’t underestimate distances. Australia is a big country and travelling between major towns and cities can be 100’s of kms (1 mile = 1.6km).

Weather
Mountain weather can be very unpredictable and can change very quickly.
Summer temperatures can get as high as the mid-thirties in the townships of the Snowy Mountains, however the night-time temperatures can get down to sub-zero on occasion, so be prepared for any weather. During the summer months temperatures will always be a few degrees cooler the higher the elevation you travel to.
Geography & Climate
The Snowy Mountains are in the south east of New South Wales, and are the highest point in Australia’s Great Dividing Range. Much of the region is incorporated into Kosciuszko National Park. At 2,228m, Mount Kosciuszko is the highest peak on the Australian mainland. The flat expanse of the Monaro High Plain to the east of the region is sheep country renowned for the quality of its Merino wool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Have Compulsory Equipment?
As Event Organisers we are often asked why ‘Compulsory Equipment’ is included as part of some of our races. The simple answer to this question is that it’s about keeping participants safe, which we believe should be the priority in any decision making when it comes to event management.
Compulsory Equipment lists are developed by the event team based on a number of factors. These include, but are not limited to:
- The general weather conditions in the area;
- Duration and distance of the course;
- Technical difficulty of the course;
- Event terrain;
- The remoteness of the event course;
- Time to emergency response;
- Time to hospital/medical services;
- Expected participants skill level; and
- Weather conditions on the day.
Based on the qualifications, skills and knowledge of our team compulsory equipment lists are developed based on what we believe is the minimum to keep our participants safe and well if they are delayed for any reason during the event.
Most times compulsory equipment won’t be required, however in the case where participants may find themselves injured, immobilised or exhausted, especially in poor weather conditions then the compulsory equipment will aid survival until rescue can be actioned.
We are often asked why participants do not have the option to just take the gear that they think they require, and in an ideal world, this would be great, however, we do not live in a world where every person has the skills, knowledge and experience to know what the potential dangers could be and we prefer to use the years of experience of our team, extensive knowledge of the local conditions and the expertise of local authorities to guide this decision making.
Another important aspect of an event is ensuring it is fair for those participating. A compulsory equipment list means that each person is carrying the same gear as every other participant and that is why random gear checks are often carried out during events to ensure that everyone is taking part in the spirit of the event.
How Old Do I Have To Be To Race?
The minimum ages for each race distance are shown on the Entry Tab.
Ages for entry and race categories are calculated as of the 31st December each summer (middle of the race season).
Can I Enter On The Day?
If you miss the entry closure at 5pm Wednesday prior to the event, late online entries are open until 30 minutes before the close of registration on the day.
Late entries are accepted online only.
View Full Late Online Entry Information on the Entry Tab.
Do I Need A Licence To Race?
No licence or club membership is required to take part in this event.
Do I Need A Support Crew?
No! A support crew is not allowed for Half Marathon competitors and is not necessary or required for Ultra competitors.
We do however recommend bringing the whole family along to cheer you on and enjoy what the area has to offer.
Can I Carry A Music Device?
Competitors are permitted to wear personal audio equipment whilst taking part in the event.
However all competitors must have one ear clear at all times so that you can hear other runners, other trail users and approaching vehicles. You must switch off music as you approach and pass Course Marshals so that you can hear any directions given to you, you must switch off music when travelling on all public roads/footpaths so you can hear approaching traffic and other users. So while you may use iPods/Music players, it is up to you to use them in a safe manner so that you remain aware of your surroundings and things happening around you at all times.
This is for safety reasons to ensure that runners can be alert to their environment and ensure it is an enjoyable experience for all involved.
What Equipment Will I Need For The Event?
Participants are required to be self-sufficient for the event.
- View the Event Equipment List on the Event Details Tab.
What Happens If An Event Is Cancelled Or Rescheduled?

What If I Have To Withdraw From The Event?
If you are unable to make the event full details are outlined in the EVENT REFUND POLICY outlining necessary actions and follow up in the case of an applicable refund or credit.
Can I Run With A Pram Or Stroller?

TreX X-Triathlon
Trail Run Australia Snowy Mountains is part of the Snowies MultiSport Festival which includes the TreX Cross Triathlon hosted on Saturday.
TreX is triathlon but with a new twist as we head off road for a version of the sport with heart, grit and off road action. TreX includes a Swim, Mountain Bike and Trail Run on a pre-determined, marked course and is governed by the normal rules and guidelines of a traditional triathlon. Put simply, it’s the on road version of the sport transposed into a bushland setting with mountain bikes and off road trail shoes.
The event includes Standard, Sprint, Junior, Teaser and Dirt Kids Courses as well as a Duathlon and Aquabike format, so there’s something for all comers no matter what your age or ability.
