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.

Also special thanks to Mount Beauty Rotary Club for volunteers, Alpine Radio for broadcasting at the event, Vegitation Wholesale Produce for donating the feed station fruit, Food Works Mount Beauty for providing lollies, Mount Beauty Playgroup for their bake sale and BBQ, and Mount Beauty Swimming Pool for the use of their facilities.
