Cataract Gorge is Launnie’s own piece of wilderness just 16km from the airport or 3km from the city centre. This event is perfect for a day trip or combining it into a weeklong holiday. The course includes some of the best views of the city of Launceston, cataract gorge & Trevallyn nature reserve. Plus, the area isn’t just full of amazing trails it also boasts the world’s longest single span chairlift and you can sit amongst the peacocks in first basin while you’ll have runners doing their thing in this stunning backdrop.
This event is a must for any runner of any level. We cater for all with distances of 100 mile, 100km, 50km, 25km, an 11km day or night run plus a kids 2km run and with relaxed cut offs we can make that 100 mile or 100km dream come true.
Just remember, Tasmania’s first & only 100 mile course contains a soul-destroying, quad-crushing 8000m+ of elevation gain. It’s beautiful, but brutal – can you go under 24hrs for a silver belt buckle?
