About the Race

The Whole Hog is the flagship race of the Valley Ultra and provides athletes with a challenging course that journeys through native beech forest, traverses tussock grasslands, down alpine screes and across rugged mountain peaks. An exposed 7km ridge line section is a particular highlight which also features the highest point of the course (1922m).
