About the race
Bogong to Hotham is a mountain ultra run held Saturday 16 January 2027 with three distance options:
- 29k
- 35k
- 64k
The course starts at Mountain Creek Campground and follows alpine terrain: runners ascend Mt Bogong, descend T-Spur to the Big River, climb Duane's Spur to the Bogong High Plains, pass the main aid station at Langford Gap, cross the high plains, drop to the Cobungra River and climb Swindler's Spur to finish at the Mt Hotham summit. The event requires mandatory equipment and a tracker app; all runners must read the event information and configure the tracker before competing.
Entry for the 64k and 35k distances is assessed based on trail experience, endurance and pace or suitable race results; the 29k has lower qualifying requirements but still requires trail experience and mandatory gear. Limited parking is available at Mountain Creek; competitors are encouraged to carpool from nearby towns. Transport options are provided for specific combinations of distances and return points: tickets that include bus transport are required to use the provided services. Langfords Gap and Mt Hotham have designated transport arrangements for certain distances.
Trailsplus donates $1 per participant to Canteen; cumulative donations have exceeded $80,000 and in 2025 the event contributed $100 to Canteen from entry-related donations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
