Aniseed Ascent Trail Run

Twin Bridges serves as a start line that quickly indicates the nature of the day ahead. The Aniseed Ascent Trail Run enters the Tasman Pine Forests estate, utilizing private dirt forestry roads that meander through the "rugged beauty of the Aniseed Valley" and a dramatic landscape of pine-covered hills. It feels more like a genuine forest excursion on working backcountry terrain than a typical town race. The running focuses on rhythm: ascents on forestry roads, descents through beautiful mature pines, and sufficient gradient to justify the views. The shorter route follows the forestry-road climb-and-drop pattern, while the longer one ventures into more backcountry terrain and distinct ground deeper within the estate. Expect off-road runners and walkers who are present for the dirt, pine needles, and a course that challenges the legs.
