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 February/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 Race Committee is planning on running an event this year, however given the heavy rain this past Sunday we need to see what the next weather event does. It will not be the traditional course, and we are still looking at formats. The HRC is meeting Tuesday 11 August to narrow down racecourse possibilities.
We will be updating the situation regularly on the website, hoppet.com.au and on social media. If you have entered, you will receive email updates and a text to your race day mobile number closer to the day. Please be aware participants may be required to carry a backpack with their own protective gear.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Especially for the hundreds of people who came to stay from outside the Kiewa Valley last weekend and can not easily grab a copy…. attached is the local newspaper article to read with a short summary of your day up the highest mountain in Victoria!
Thanks to This Week in Falls Creek & Mount Beauty for the two page article in our local paper.
The event is always held on the Saturday before the March long weekend, so in 2027 that date is Saturday 27th February 2027!
