Oscars100 Hut2Hut 100km Howqua/King Area - Feb 2017

[Stew63]

The inaugural Oscars100 Hut2Hut 100km adventure UltraMarathon/hike on the 17-19th Feb. 2017 taking in some of Victoria's finest Alpine areas surrounding the Howqua/King River Valleys. Whilst I definitely understand it won't be most peoples 'cup of tea' - the entry price will put a lot of people off for sure - it is expensive and many will definitely think twice before entering. Why $enter$ when you can just power hike the course yourself right? Anyways just putting it out there - someone here may be interested.

I feel fatigued just reading the places that these people will run non stop . I would take a week to walk that with a full pack and camp over night en route.

Im in, chosen for the run option as hope to beat the cut off times. Would nice to be finished in under 20 hours but who knows. Really looking forward to the cross cut saw section as have always wanted to see it. The cool T shirt looks great
Good luck Stew
