22—40—64 km Alpine Runs
This classic Alpine run offers three challenging distances in some of the most spectacular country in Victoria’s Alpine National Park. The 64 km Razorback Ridge run takes in the entire length of the Razorback to offer some of the most stunning ridge running and scenery in the Australian Alps, whilst the 40 km Razorback Circuit gives you a great climb to the summit, a terrific ridge run and a quad busting descent. The 22 km short course Razorback Ridge offers —a delightful day out to the Summit of Mt Feathertop and back along the Razorback.
Set in the heart of Victoria’s high country, the Razorback Run is one of the most amazing high altitude runs that Australia has to offer.
