The Great Southern Endurance Run 50 Mile event takes on rugged and picturesque mountains and trails throughout the Victorian Alps.

Previously a point-to-point race, we have now opted for a course that will provide runners greater safety and comradery on many sections along the trail.
With 79.92 km’s and 4,170 m’s of ascent, every 50 miler will be challenged as they make their quest to reach the finish line while experiencing the most spectacular and amazing trail runs in the southern hemisphere.

Our 50miler event has been designed to allow runners who have conquered a 56k or 60km trail running event to take that next step, with the desire of conquering the mountains.  The course tackles trails that are predominantly single track and includes a section of the historical Australian Alps Walking Trail.
The grit and determination it takes participants to finish will be nothing short of extraordinary. The experience along the way – priceless.

For enthusiasts of ultrarunning, trail running, or mountain running, this course represents the epitome of journeys and events.
