With distances of 100 mile; 100 km; 60 km; 42 km; 25 km; 16 km and 10 km, and a vertical elevation for the 100 mile event of over 7000 metres, the term ‘Challenge’ is not an under-statement. Last year’s event attracted just over 260 entrants across the range of distances. The problems associated with the road in previous years meant numbers dropped to around 160 – but numbers this year are improving – pretty good considering the challenges faced by organisers over the past few years.
The last few years have been very challenging for the organisers, with a foot of snow a couple of days before the 2019 event, and bushfires restricting the course two years back. Then the last two events have been moved from November to April to ensure they went ahead. In order to enable more people to experience the magic of the Victorian Alps and savour the atmosphere of this unique event we have introduced a number of changes, adding in short course distances of 10/16/25 km,
discontinuing the 36 km distance and replacing it with a new marathon distance taking in the best of the high plains whilst offering fantastic scenery on a challenging course.
The Alpine Challenge is without doubt the toughest, most challenging, most spectacular and rewarding all mountain trail runs in Australia—if not the southern hemisphere over seven distances. The 100 mile (160 km) course takes in six major climbs with about 7000 m of ascent and descent. The 100 km involves over 4,000 m of ascent and descent and the 60 km course over 2,000 m of ascent and descent, whilst for those undertaking the 42 km run you will have over 900 m of ascent. The three short distances—10/16/25 km—offer an opportunity to experience great trail running and some of the historic huts on single tracks with great views over Heathy Spur and Rocky Valley Dam.
It also offers the most challenging weather conditions, from intense heat during the day or snowstorms and driving rain, to subzero temperatures at night.
Whilst the event organisers can take action
to reduce risk to participants, they cannot eliminate it, as a result runners need to be prepared to run in all conditions or have the experience and sense to decide not to run at all on the day. Participants are advised to train for all conditions, including running in storms, snow and at night.
Key Information: April Run. Date: Saturday 12 April to Monday 14 April 2025. Location: Alpine National Park, Victoria. Start/Finish: Slalom Plaza, Falls Creek.

10 km/16 km/25 km Run. Pre-race check in: 10:15am. Start time: 10:30am. Saturday.

So, it you’re out on the high plains this weekend, give these guys a wrap! • Also refer article on Page Three by Nik Nok as she continues her quest to raise $10,000 for the Stroke Foundation.

It's been an incredible eight months of fundraising—a journey filled with three raffles, countless donations from generous local businesses, an endless stream of Facebook stories, a few too many shoes worn down, early mornings, and a fair share of sleepless nights, all while racking up miles on the training trail. Now, with just seven days left before the big event, it's time to put all of this hard work to the ultimate test.
The Alpine Challenge 100 mile (160km) event is a wild, remote course through the stunning alpine region. Along the way, I’ll be summiting and crossing some of Victoria's tallest peaks—Mt. Bogong, Feathertop, Nelse, and McKay—while passing through two of the state’s iconic resorts, Falls Creek and Hotham. It’s going to be an unforgettable adventure, and for anyone who wants to follow along in the experience, Alpine Timing will be running seven checkpoints throughout the course. There are also several spectator spots where supporters can cheer on the competitors to help boost their steps, Easy access spectator spots are: Langford’s Gap; Cope Hut; Loch Carpark at Mt. Hotham; Harrietville near the bakery; Pretty Valley Pondage: Slalom Plaza Falls Creek and Mt. McKay.
For those willing to go the extra mile, more challenging spots include Warby Corner and the summit of Mt. Bogong.
Looking back, there are simply no words to fully express my gratitude for everyone who has supported me along the way—whether through training, donations, or kind words of encouragement. Your support has meant the world, and it’s what’s kept me going through the tough moments.
Thanks to the incredible support of Mountain Monk Brewery, the final raffle raised another $715 for the Stroke Foundation, bringing the total funds raised to over $8,000. We’re now
so close to reaching the $10,000 goal and I’m beyond grateful for everyone who showed up to support the raffle night, and a massive thank you to all the local businesses that generously donated to make this event possible.
Mountain Monk Brewery, Falls Creek Distillery, Alpine Outfitters, Vail Resorts, Pip from Bodyworx physical therapies, Tarsh from Falls Creek Altitude Physio, Wildflower Pilates, Vegitation, Farm to Fork Butcher and Jaye Fatchen.
Now the final countdown is on. We have just seven days left before the adventure begins! And while the race itself is just one part of the journey, I’m committed to giving it my all and representing all of you who have helped make this possible.
There’s still time to donate, so please help me hit the $10,000 goal for the Stroke Foundation. Together, we can continue to spread the message of resilience, determination, and hope. •
The Peaks Challenge Falls Creek 2025 proved to be a record-breaking day on the road. March 9th at Falls Creek: The 2025 edition of Peaks Challenge Falls Creek was a resounding success, with 2,250 riders taking on one of Australia’s most iconic endurance cycling events. This year’s event featured record-breaking performances, a historic increase in female participation, and near-perfect riding conditions. It truly showcased the spirit of challenge and camaraderie that defines Peaks Challenge.
Participants faced the gruelling 235-kilometre course, tackling over 4,000 meters of elevation gain, including the formidable Tawonga Gap, Mount Hotham, and the notorious ascent at the back of Falls Creek (locally known as WTF corner). Nearly 500 riders did not finish or cross the line after the strict 13-hour cut-off, underscoring the extreme difficulty of the challenge and the challenge ride’s title of the toughest cycling event in the country.
A Historic Increase in Female Participation
This year marked a milestone in the event’s history, with a record number of female
participants—a 20% increase compared to the previous year. The growing presence of women in endurance cycling highlights the increasing inclusivity and appeal of the Peaks Challenge.
Unlike previous editions that have faced unpredictable weather, the 2025 event was blessed with blue skies and warm temperatures for most of the day. Riders enjoyed clear mountain views and ideal conditions for one of the most demanding endurance rides in the country.
Mark O’Brien, a former professional cyclist, was the fastest male climber, completing the three peaks of Tawonga Gap, Mt Hotham, and Back of Falls in a combined time of 2h 27m, beating his record from last year. He was also the first male finisher at Falls Creek.
In the women’s category, Victoria Barry took out the QOM with a climbing time of 3h 11m and was the first to finish, capping off an inspiring ride.
Peaks Challenge Falls Creek 2025 was possible due to our partners and sponsors. Their support was vital for this unforgettable event.
• Falls Creek Resort Management supplied our event village and logistical support for smooth operations in the alpine setting.
• SRAM backs the King and Queen of the Mountain Challenge, encouraging riders of all ages.
• Ride High Country promoted the event and highlighted Victoria’s top cycling destinations.
• Bridge Road Brewery offered riders a complimentary Free Time non-alcoholic beer after the ride.
• Cuore delivered a standout finishers jersey, already seen in popular spots nationwide and globally.
With Peaks Challenge Falls Creek complete, Bicycle Network looks forward to expanding the event and welcoming more riders in 2026. Whether seasoned or a first-timer, Peaks Challenge is a premier endurance cycling test. The sense of achievement, stunning scenery, and unmatched camaraderie make this event unforgettable. Now is the perfect time to train for the 2026 challenge!

Your editor is still trying to get figures on just what this even is worth to the community. An old and proven formula regarding tourism spending is that every tourist dollar spent in town goes around six times. An event with in excess of 2000 participants, plus families and friends has to be worth a substantial amount for this community.
The volunteer work of the Rotary Club of Mount Beauty at Peaks has earned several thousand dollars for the club, which all goes back to being spent among the community. Ed •

Snow poles are welcome friends of the walker in summer fog and of the skier in winter ‘white-out.’ If following such a line in adverse conditions, a party should move together.
At each pole, if the forward one is not visible, one member should go ahead and remain ahead by a length of line the distance of the poles apart. The other members of the party should remain at a pole and move to the leader only when he has located the pole ahead.”
R ‘Dick’ Hemmy from Skiing the High Plains by Harry Stephenson, Graphic Books 1982.
The first snow-poles lines across the Bogong High Plains were erected well before the increasing popularity of ski touring, and it was for the safety of gold miners and mountain cattlemen who traversed the Plains. By 1852 gold had been discovered in Bright, Myrtleford and Harrietville, however with the decline of these rich findings the Government set up prospecting boards and to aid further searches commissioned track cutting in the north-east. One of the first lines extended from Mount Fainter (in the south) to Mount Wills (in the north), and was completed in 1895. George Fitzgerald, from Shannonvale, out from Omeo, and one of the early

pioneering cattlemen on the Bogong High Plains, recounted stories of his life to W.F. “Bill” Waters in 1954 when George was 87 years old. He spoke of how he and his brother Jack had erected a snow pole line from Rocky Valley to Tawonga Huts back in 1896. “Many miners then working at Glen Wills had their homes in Harrietville, and the Mines Department put in the track to enable them to travel between the two safely. One of these prospectors, a Mr Nelson, lends his name to Mt Nelse.
Thick fog and snow were such a hazard on the High Plains that ‘Dad’ Fitzgerald recounted a time when mustering on Mt Nelse that the fog “was so thick a dog couldn’t bark in it.’’ So bad indeed that he “dug a hole in the snow behind some rocks and held my horse by the bridle until daylight, and that was the longest night I ever put in!” (from

Harry Stephenson’s Cattlemen and Huts of the High Plains, Viking O’Neil, 1980). The original poles were old snow gums “eight to ten feet high and, on the Plains, three chains apart (sixty-six feet, or twenty metres). “Each pole was marked with a metal tag bearing the number of its position in line and a character to indicate which line it belonged to. In the early days the numbers were placed too low and they were frequently covered by snow. Later routes followed the lines pioneered by mountain cattlemen of the Kiewa, Ovens and Mitta Mitta Valleys. With the decline of mining, pole lines fell into disrepair and were not replaced or repaired until the mid-1920s when the tourist potential of the area was first recognised, both from summer walkers and winter ski tourers. The latter becoming so popular with its members, that the Ski Club of Victoria lobbied the Public Works Department to renew the main lines. By 1934, with an extensive program of hydrological surveys and a network of snow gauges on the High Plains, the State
Electricity Commission erected two new lines of snow poles.
One, two miles in length from the SEC’s cottage near Wallace’s Hut, the other from the summit of Mt Cope down into Pretty Valley. Both routes intersect the main snow pole route across the plains. Steel poles had replaced the snow gum poles on Mt Bogong and the effect of the wind whistling through a series of holes in the steel poles created a low moan. Although the sound was quite eerie, it aided the skier to “listen” for the next pole ahead.
In June 1959 came a warning to skiers that, with the construction of Rocky Valley Dam completed and the reservoir beginning to fill, “the pole lines which previously crossed the floor of Rocky Valley basin have been removed.”
Alpine Fires in 2003 saw pole lines destroyed and replacement became a priority for Parks Vic, given their significance for safety of both

If the spirits of the miner Nelson, the mountain cattleman Fitzie, the ski tourer Cleve Cole or the hydrological surveyor Martin Romuld, looked down on the pole lines today they would bear witness to a new generation of walkers, runners, ski tourers, even snowshoers as touring and snow camping has increased in popularity among school and outdoor education groups and young people.
