The James Mountain Sport Series is an endurance sport weekend from 16 to 17 January 2026 with several trail running events from 21km through to 100 miles and a multisport option.

The series includes the Great Great Southern Alps 100 Miler (GSAM), the High Country 100km and the Stampede Ultra 50K - these are full on “adventure mountain-runs” and runners will need to be semi self sufficient. With multiple river crossings, an average altitude of 850m (highest point just over 1300m) and several short sections with no physical track on the ground. The Homestead Half is a 21km high country fun run.
