Mt Wycheproof 5km Summit Dash 

Conquer the World’s Smallest Mountain! 

​

Get ready to take on one of Australia’s most unique running challenges in the heart of the Mallee! The Wycheproof 5K Summit Dash is a one-of-a-kind event that loops around the base of the world’s smallest registered mountain—Mt. Wycheproof—before finishing with a spirited climb to its modest summit.

​

This scenic and fun 5-kilometre course begins in the township of Wycheproof and winds its way along quiet country roads and trails, offering participants sweeping views of the surrounding plains and the iconic granite rise of Mt. Wycheproof as it looms gently ahead. You’ll circumnavigate the base of the mountain, taking in the quirky charm and natural beauty of the area, before tackling the final ascent.

​

Don’t be fooled by its humble stature—Mt. Wycheproof may stand only 43 metres above the surrounding plain (at 148m above sea level), but the last leg still packs a punch! The winding path to the summit will test your legs and reward your spirit as you cross the finish line with panoramic views and a true sense of accomplishment.

Whether you're chasing a personal best or just out for a good time, the Wycheproof 5K Summit Dash promises a memorable experience with a light-hearted mountain conquest to cap it off.
