Cradle Mountain Run

The Cradle Mountain Run is a one-day trek from Tasmania’s famous Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair along the Overland Track.

The beauty of this run is that it traverses wild alpine areas of Tasmania’s Cradle Mt Lake St Clair National Park and World Heritage Area. The altitude of the track in several areas of the plateau is greater than 1000 metres, which by world standards is not high, but here is well above the tree line. This low tree line illustrates the exposure and harshness of conditions that can prevail even in summer.

This is an estimated, not-accurately measured 80km trail run limited to 60 runners. The event is a run not a race and mutual help is an important aspect. Hills are steep, the mud can suck your shoes off and roots and stones make the going slow for the less nimble footed.

Potential runners should note that entries fill extremely quickly.
