OUR EVENTS
The Kangaroo Hoppet is now proud to present three amazing sporting events each year.
Whether you are an elite athlete wanting to take on the world’s best, a weekend warrior yearning for some more adrenalin in your life or you simply enjoy getting outdoors with your friends, we can offer you a range of exciting and exhilarating experiences in the beautiful mountains of the Alpine Shire.
Join us in the Upper Kiewa Valley, for the iconic Mt Bogong Conquestathon in March, the Mount Beauty Running Festival in May, and the Kangaroo Hoppet international cross country ski marathon at the Falls Creek Alpine Resort and Bogong High Plains in August.
All are made possible by our major sponsors, AGL Energy, Mount Beauty and District Community Bank, Falls Creek Resort and our dedicated team of volunteers.

The Hoppet Dozen🥂🍷, is available only from the Kangaroo Hoppet Race Office in Mount Beauty and provides a unique chance to sample wines from three of our local north east Victorian wineries.
Beautifully packed in six bottle presentation packs of either reds or whites, and priced at just $90 for six bottles, the Hoppet Dozen is a unique opportunity to broaden your north east wine experience. And they also make a very nice Xmas gift – if you can keep them for that long! #gapstedestate #sammirandawines #ceccantikiewavalleywines
Drop in on one of these cellar doors to try out the wines on offer and take some home to share with friends.😁
