KANGAROO HOPPET
Rounding out August is the return of the largest cross country ski event in the Southern Hemisphere, the iconic Kangaroo Hoppet.
Part of the World Loppet series of XC skiing events, this race will see more than 1500 skiers tackle three different courses on the Bogong High Plains.
The 7km Joey Hoppet is the most achievable of all the events and great for active kids; the 21km Birkebeiner is the classic iteration of this historic sport taking in a full lap of the Hoppet course; and the 42km Hoppet is available for those that want a real challenge.
