This classic Alpine run offers 5 challenging distances in some of the most spectacular country in Victoria’s Alpine National Park. The 68km Mt Feathertop Skyrun, the 64km Razorback Ridge run which builds on the 58km course but takes in the entire length of the Razorback to offer some of the most spectacular running and scenery in the Australian Alps and the short course Razorback Ridge – a delightful day out up 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.
1) Mt Feathertop/ Machinery Spur 68km, encompassing the best of the Razorback run plus a gentle jog up Machinery Spur.
2) Razorback Ridge/ High Plains Run 64km of pure Alpine pleasure and pain with stunning scenery – or possibly lots of mist and no views at all. This is the most stunning and spectacular run of its kind in Victoria and the culmination of over 8 years route planning – a must for the hardened runner.
3) Mt Feathertop Skyrun 58km – the ideal training run for anyone thinking of attempting the Alpine Challenge 100mile ultra as it covers 3 of the six climbs and descents.
4) Harrietville Hash 38km, a great run up Bungalow Spur, across the Razorback & down Bon Accord Spur.
5) Razorback Ridge 22km, an out and back run across the Razorback to Mt Feathertop from Diamintina Hut.
