FOMO TRAILS ALPINE TRAINING CAMP

13–15 November | Falls Creek, Victoria

Whether you're lining up for the Aussie Alpine Backyarder or preparing for any alpine trail running adventure this summer, the FOMO Trails Alpine Training Camp is designed to give you the confidence, knowledge, and experience to perform in Australia's high country.

Over three days, you'll train on alpine terrain, learn how to manage the unique demands of altitude and mountain environments, and connect with a community of like-minded runners who share a passion for challenging themselves in the outdoors.

This is not simply a weekend of running. It's an opportunity to gain valuable insights from experienced alpine trail runners, practice race-day strategies, and experience the supportive community that defines FOMO Trails events.

Saturday 14 November

Aussie Alpine Backyarder Simulation
