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.

⭐️🏔️🏃♂️LOCAL NEWSPAPER 🏃♀️🏔️⭐️
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!
