Kosci30

Kosci30

The organiser gives 33 km and 596 m of climbing (the course description says 32 km). The line is simple: from Perisher down the mountain to Bullocks Flat, then up the Thredbo Valley trails to Friday Flat. It loses more height than it gains, so most of the work is on the descent and the steady valley climb at the end.

The cutoff pace is 13:59 per kilometre; the organiser expects the first finisher around 12:20 pm and the last by 6:00 pm. Runners must be 16 on race day, results are given in age divisions, there is a finish-line drop bag service, and shuttles run to and from the start and finish. Cutoffs may be brought forward in bad weather. Finishers earn one UTMB running stone.

This page covers the 2026 Kosci30. Point to point means the family usually waits at the finish, not at the start. On a Livebib broadcast they see the runner’s position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes, in a browser with no account or app; a position the phone could not send is carried forward and marked as estimated. The runner decides who gets the link.
