About this race
Hanmer Forest shapes this run: a mostly flat loop through its tranquil trails, with enough trees and quiet to feel like a reset rather than a forced event. Hanmer Forest parkrun has the usual weekly-series feel: runners, walkers, volunteers, kids, steady joggers, and people just getting moving, all sharing a fun and relaxed morning in nature.
The course suits a simple effort: keep the legs ticking over, enjoy the forest surface, and do not expect a big climb to sort the field out. It is a peaceful and community-driven event in a picturesque alpine setting, with casual walkers and experienced runners both fitting in, and the odd quirk of free beer at the finish before people drift toward the thermal pools or Hanmer's charming township.
