COAST TO KOSCI IS BACK

Kate Dzienis • July 30, 2020

The 240kms Coast To Kosciuszko will return for 2020.

The return of the event was announced on Wednesday, 29 July in conjunction with AURA and the Blue Mountains Running Co.

Race directors Greg Wallace and Mickey Campbell said they were delighted to help with the return of the iconic Coast To Kosciuszko.

“Coast To Kosciuszko is renowned, revered and loved amongst the Australian Ultra Running community – and well beyond – and the 2020 event will evoke the spirit of past events,” they said.

The 240kms race will be by invitation only and will be limited to 50 participants. The race will kick off on the beach at Eden, NSW and will finish 240kms later at Charlotte Pass after the runners have summitted Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest peak.

Coast To Kosciuszko will be held in its traditional timeslot of the first weekend in December, with a start time of 5:30am on 4 December with a cut-off time of 3:30am 6 December. It will be the 12th time the ultramarathon has been held.

Coast To Kosciuszko was last held in 2017. Entries will open 3 August via the website which will be updated soon.

AUTRA statement regarding Snowies Trail Run Festival

March 12, 2026

AUTRA has been in direct contact with the organisers of the Snowies Trail Run Festival, In2Adventure, regarding a recent situation involving an athlete and the event’s in‑person safety briefing requirements. In2Adventure has confirmed that the situation was discussed directly with the athlete at the time. From In2Adventure’s account, and for the purpose of clarifying the public record, AUTRA notes the following points: At no stage was the athlete prevented from breastfeeding at the event. The organiser states that the following options were offered to enable the athlete to participate while still meeting safety requirements: a quiet and private space where she could breastfeed while still being present at the briefing; the option to receive the required briefing at the 30 km start line after the start; and the option to change her registration to the 21 km event, where the briefing is conducted on the start line. At no stage prior to event registration on Saturday night did the athlete contact the organiser to advise of her situation or request alternative arrangements, which limited what could be put in place at the time. Face‑to‑face safety briefings have always been a requirement for In2Adventure events.
