About the Race

The Hobbit 21km Half Marathon is a new addition to the Hobbit weekend. So set down the record pace or shake out the legs if you did the 42km the previous day. Starting and finishing through natural forest, the middle section lets you stretch out on the plantation jeep tracks while still enjoying the views from the escarpment. Just be sure to save a bit for the final push up Tor Doore 1585m.
