Awesome community trail running events on Hobart's iconic mountain!

Spanning four events across the year, the Series offers adventure, community spirit and a chance to immerse yourself in nature! At each event, choose from the longer Enduro distance or the shorter Sport distance. The Sport distance is fantastic if you're a trail kid (or have one at home!), if you'd prefer to run a shorter run, or if you're dipping your toes into trail running for the first time. We also have a third category, the Taster, with a 5km "pram-able" course at Tolosa, and a 3km at Rialannah.

Our courses feature trails through alpine heaths and past dolerite cliffs, to dry peppermint forests and buttongrass moorland. The Palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal community) generously welcome and share Kunanyi with trail runners – and for that, we're eternally grateful.

Your support crew are very welcome to join us, and we have free BBQs, and games for the kids at our Event hubs, to give you the chance to have a yarn and connect with others in our beautiful trail running community. While you run, kids can also be dropped off at our Bush Play drop-off service, run by Free to Be. BushPlay and Learning. This is complimentary for our runners, thanks to the support of the City of Hobart.
