Transport & Parking
There are lots of ways to get around the Snowy Mountains during event week! Check out the options below.
PARKING OPTIONS
There is a large amount of free parking at both the Bullocks Flat and Friday Flat venues for starts and finish lines. Cars can be left at both carparks for the duration of your race.
Spectators and support crews can also make use of this free parking at any time.
Note that Thredbo is located within the Kosciuszko National Park, and any cars driving into the National Park will need a NSW Parks Pass (day or annual), which can be purchased at Park Information Centres or at the toll gates while entering the park. Further details can be found here
Note that Bullocks Flat is outside of the National Park area so no pass is required.
CHECKPOINT PARKING
Support crews out on course will need to make their way around via their own vehicle.
Checkpoint parking varies from abundant to not much depending on the checkpoint. A breakdown of Checkpoint access and parking is below.
Parking is available at Friday Flat, Thredbo, and there is also limited parking near to the Kosciuszko Express Chairlift in the Thredbo Village.
Walk to the Kosciuszko Express Chairlift (approx 950m from Friday Flat) and catch the chairlift up to Eagles Nest.
Purchase online and in advance to save on lift passes. Buy now through Thredbo here.
Please note that the chairlift operates in daylight hours and will not be operational at some times when runners are passing through Eagles Nest.
A reminder also that we are in the heart of Australia’s highest mountains, Thredbo’s weather is changeable and all lifts are weather dependent. We recommend checking the weather report and dressing for all weather conditions when riding Thredbo’s lifts.
