Whether you're chasing a personal milestone or stepping into your first trail challenge, there's an option for you
The Aussie Alpine Backyarder bring you a vibrant village atmosphere, crisp alpine air and unforgettable views across Victoria's High Country. It's more than just a run – it's adventure, community and a unique way to welcome the New Year.
