Hut 2 Hut - Oscars100 2026

A touch over a half marathon with a vertical kilometre drop AND a vertical kilometre climb it will test your trail running mettle. This one's a beauty that may test the limits of your training bank, draw on your resources and reveal to you the depths of your own resilience. The course starts with a gentle rolling, undulating cruise along the Family Trail, departing the village along Split Rock, the head over to Cornhill Spur before the downhill bombing begins. Down, down, down Delatite you go and the expert advice is step easy - if you crush the downhill you'll also crunch your quads, something that will cost you in the back half of the Lala.You'll drop all the way down the valley and flow alongside the Delatite River, which you bank-hop numerous times on log bridges, all the while cheered on by towering forests and crowded stands of ferns. A pep talk, and aid station relief, awaits at the Mirimbah Crossover where you'll need to catch your breath and steel your glutes because the climb up Klingsporn Trail begins and doesn't let up. Sweeping single track gives you time to get in a groove before a hook to the right sets you up for McLoughlins Spur AKA The North Face of Mount Buller. Magical snow gum forest meadows give way to technical mountain stone and ridgelines. This is where you'll feel the legs if you crushed them on the earlier descent. Maybe it's best you pack the pickle juice just in case you did.All up it's a 1150m climb in only 7km before you pop out just shy of the 1805m summit of Mount Buller, perhaps the pinnacle moment of the mighty Lala 23km...but it's not quite the finish. Another 2km down the aptly named Athletes Walk and into the Village Square for a round of applause under the arch.
