WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, THE MOUNTAIN TURNS UP.
7KM-ish | 340M VERT | 2 HOUR CUT OFF | AGES 10+ | ZERO PRESSURE
This brand new run is being bought to you by our amazing event sponsor: 
You've run trails before. But probably not like this.
As darkness falls over Mt Buller, we're taking over some of the mountain's epic flowing mountain-bike trails, switching on the lights, turning up the music and doing something a little different.
Welcome to the Altra Night Run.
Around 7km of sweeping trails. 340 metres of climbing. Headlamps cutting through the darkness. Glowing lights showing the way. Live music pumping at the start and finish. And somewhere out there in the night, a party-themed aid station serving dance-floor bangers and the sort of food that probably wasn't covered in your sports nutrition plan.
This isn't about smashing a PB.
It's not about where you finish.
And nobody particularly cares how fast you get around.
You'll be timed, because runners apparently need numbers, but you've got two hours to finish and one very simple job:
Grab some mates. Turn on your headlamp. And come have a bloody good time.
RUN THE TRAILS YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO RUN.
This is one of the coolest parts.
The Altra Night Run takes you onto some of Mt Buller's sweeping mountain-bike trails, trails runners don't normally get the chance to run.
By day they're built for bikes. On Saturday night?
They're ours.
Flowing singletrack, berms, twists, turns and around 340 metres of climbing and decending, all transformed after dark by headlamps and glowing course lights.
And because this is Hut 2 Hut, we've decided a normal aid station would be far too sensible.
So expect music.
Expect lights.
Expect party food.
Expect questionable dancing.
Stopping for a boogie is entirely optional.
But strongly encouraged.
THIS ONE'S FOR EVERYONE.
You don't need to be an ultra runner. You don't need to race it. And you definitely don't need to be fast.
The Altra Night Run is open to everyone aged 10 and over and has been designed as a genuinely social event.
Run it with your kids. Run it with your partner. Grab your mates. Get the whole crew back together. Convince the person who normally stands at the finish line waiting for you that this time they're coming too.
Run. Jog. Walk the climbs. Stop at the party station. Take photos. Dance badly.
You've got two hours.
How you use them is entirely up to you.

MANDATORY GEAR
This one is pretty easy. Hut 2 Hut is a cup free event so please bring a water container that will carry a minimum of 500ml. A mobile phone is also required to be carried as will an approved snake bandage (elasticised non-crepe bandage. Minimum 10cm x 2m). Yes, snakes are still around at night getting the last of the heat from the warn rocks.
Closer to the race we will make a call on things like rain jacket etc but that will be weather dependant.
