Posted on 19.10.2017

 In2Adventure have announced the launch of what is arguably one of the nation’s most exciting and challenging trail run events held in the rugged mountain terrain of Australia’s iconic Snowy Mountains.

The Snowies Ultra Trail Run Festival, will be held in conjunction with TreX, Australia’s national cross triathlon series which includes seven events across the nation, and will include a 50k Ultra Trail Run, half marathon, 12k and 5k events.

Based in the heart of the Snowy Mountains the event showcases the regions spectacular Thredbo Valley and takes in the very best the region has to offer including the rugged mountain terrain that traverses the Thredbo and Little Thredbo Rivers.

The event is hosted by In2Adventure and will be based at Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa, the winning combination that was successful in bringing ITU Cross Triathlon World Championships to the Snowy Mountains in 2016.  In2Adventure have been hosting specialist off road and adventure events throughout Australia for over ten years and Race Director Simon Lazenby sees the launch of this new trail run festival in the Snowy Mountains as “an eagerly anticipation addition to the wide array of off road events already hosted in the Snowies region.”

The Snowy Mountain have established a reputation as ‘Australia’s Adventure Playground’ over the past five years with summer visitation rising as mountain bikers, trail runners and multisport athletes flock to the region.  This has been encouraged with the hosting of events including the World, Oceania and Australian cross triathlon championships, The Australian aquathlon championships and the widely acclaimed Snowies Mountain Bike Festival.

Anthony Cleary, General Manager of Lake Crackenback Resort which will host the event told us that;

“Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa is extremely excited to welcome the new Snowies Trail Run Festival to the Snowies region. We are proud to partner with fantastic operators such as In2Adventure to host these events and showcase the Snowy Mountains region to new and returning visitors”
