The Snowy Mountains are cementing their reputation as Australia’s off-road adventure hotspot with Australia’s ultimate MultiSport festival being hosted in the region throughout February.

Celebrations kick off with the Snowies Mountain Bike Festival from 8 – 10 February, where men and women will be tested over 100km of rugged mountain terrain. With the six-stage race based out of popular resorts Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa and Thredbo Resort, athletes can also experience the warm hospitality the Snowy Mountains is known for.

Two weeks later, the region will again welcome world class athletes, as triathletes and trail runners participate in the Australian National Cross Triathlon Championships and Trail Run Australia on 23 and 24 February.

Triathlon contenders will tackle a 1.5km swim in Lake Crackenback, followed by 30km of XC Mountain Biking and a 10km trail run. In the Snowies Ultra Trail Run, the 50km course takes in all the spectacular highlights of Thredbo Valley and Little Thredbo River.

The three events are supported by the NSW Government via its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
