About This Race
The 102K strikes the perfect balance for runners seeking a substantial ultra challenge without the extreme commitment of the full 161K distance. This demanding route tests endurance and pacing strategy across the full spectrum of Snowy Mountains terrain, requiring runners to navigate technical descents and sustained climbs while managing energy reserves through multiple alpine ecosystems. Suited for experienced ultra runners ready to push beyond standard 50K distances, the 102K offers a true test of mountain ultra skills with sufficient recovery opportunity between the technical sections that define Kosciuszko's challenging profile.
