The Hume and Hovell Ultra is an Ultramarathon event run on the Hume and Hovell Walking Track near Tumbaruma. The walking track follows as closely as possible the historic route taken by Explorers Hume & Hovell on their 1824 expedition to Port Phillip Bay. Start and finish is at Henry Angel Trackhead, some 9km south from Tumbarumba on the Tooma Road. The track is a mixture of constructed walking track and fire trails. The highest point is over 1200 metres in elevation, with many scenic natural attractions along the course including Buddong Falls, Paddys River Dam, alpine snow gums, and Mannus Lake. Events include a 100 mile ultramarathon, and 100 km ultramarathon, 50km, half marathon and relay events.
