About this event
Bright Alpine Climb 4 Peaks is a four-day walking and running event based in Bright, Victoria, held from Saturday 31 October to Tuesday 3 November 2026 over the Melbourne Cup long weekend.
Participants take on a different alpine climb each day: Mt Buffalo, Mt Feathertop, Mt Hotham and Mystic Hill. Individual courses range from 10.6 to 15 kilometres and follow gazetted trails marked for the event.
Each climb is timed, but the event has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making it suitable for both walkers and runners. Participants can enter a single day or take on all four climbs for the complete Four Peaks challenge. Those completing the full event have their daily times combined to produce an overall result.
Established in 1979, the event showcases the mountain scenery surrounding Bright and brings up to 500 competitors to the region each year. It offers a memorable long-weekend challenge for participants seeking alpine views, varied terrain and a choice of walking or running pace.
