The Australian Alpine Ascent (AAA) will be a gruelling 3km swim, 130km ride and 30km run and is expected to see some of the world’s greatest endurance athletes descend on the New South Wales Snowy Mountains.

The course is nothing short of spectacular and will see athletes pass through some of the Snowy Mountains’ most picturesque locations including Thredbo Village and one of the most famous landmarks in Australia, Mt Kosciuszko.

The course will begin with a 3km swim in Lake Jindabyne, before transitioning out of the water and onto the bike to commence the 130km ride climbing over 3200 vertical metres, then into a 30km run that takes competitors to the top of Australia.
