The pair had been attempting a 32-kilometre event training circuit, and got stranded descending from Mount Neil in the dark.
A helicopter let down a land search and rescue team, which found the pair sharing a survival blanket - at high altitude, several hours' walk from the nearest road.
Police say are reminding people to understand the weather, pack warm clothes, and use a locator beacon.
