You’re invited to “run with Kunanyi” – the famous mountain on Hobart’s doorstep that is rich in culture, history and incredibly diverse landscapes. The Palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal community) generously welcome and share Kunanyi with trail runners – whether you’re a seasoned ultra runner or reasonably new to running on trails.
5km for our 5th year of KMR! Starting at the Runhub, there’s a fast downhill, down to the historic Cascade Brewery, where you can feel and almost taste the history (and certainly smell!) of beer being made here for almost 200 years. With Kunanyi looming above, you’ll run through the quaint and English-style Cascade Gardens before climbing up to the ridgeline, through dry sclerophyll eucalypt forests. Flying down Golden Gully and across the Old Farm Rd connects to the bottom of Cascade Track. You can follow your nose (literally!) as you’ll come past close again to the Cascade Brewery, across the paddocks and finish in the runHub, and celebrate your achievement.
