The Australian Alpine Ascent (AAA) Triathlon Festival is specifically designed to be the world’s most gruelling set of single day challenges held within daylight hours. After unprecedented positive feedback from our 2016 athletes, this world class event is returning in 2017 to be bigger and better than ever. This location will test even the toughest of competitors and those willing to take the challenge, “into thin air”.

From the initial swim locations of either Lake Crackenback or Lake Jindabyne (both at altitude) you will transition onto the cycle which will see you reach heights up to 1964m before throwing on your shoes for a run which will be a combination of road and trail tracks. You’ll cross through locations like Dead Horse Gap, Perisher, Charlottes Pass, and the Thredbo Village Green; it’s brutal, but it’s beautiful and the courses have been designed to showcase the very best of the Snowy Mountains along the way. This Festival is quickly becoming the Southern Hemispheres benchmark event, testing speed, stamina and strength and is expected to draw a world-class group of endurance athletes set to take on new heights Down Under.
