Starting from Alpine Park and the Nightingale Bros Alpine Produce, this is the concluding event of a four-day trail running and walking series, characterized by its genuine hill-run nature. The Bright Alpine Climb originated in 1979, established to encourage walkers into the hills surrounding Bright. It has since "evolved into a mixed event where runners and walkers share the trails."
Mystic Hill presents a climb where you establish your pace early, maintain a steady effort, and earn the vista through exertion rather than an easy approach. Anticipate marked alpine trails, a significant ascent, required gear appropriate for the conditions, and walkers typically starting ahead of the runners, "adding excitement while maintaining a friendly atmosphere" throughout the final day.
