Event location
Description
The Mt Bogong Conquestathon on Saturday, 28 February 2026 is a challenging 21-kilometre trek to the summit of Victoria’s highest mountain, Mt Bogong (1,986 metres).
Starting from Mountain Creek Campground in Tawonga, Victoria, the course features a steep ascent of 1,410 metres over just 9 kilometres via the iconic Staircase Spur trail to the summit.
