The Ridgy Didge Trail Runs 2026

kunanyi/Mount Wellington is central: alpine heaths, dry peppermint forest, buttongrass moorland, and "towering dolerite cliffs" overlook views to the Derwent estuary. The Ridgy Didge Trail Runs offers a genuine Tasmanian trail running experience, with "spectacular terrain" to draw your gaze and mountain challenges to keep you focused on your footing. The harder course involves technical rock hopping, sustained climbs, remote sections, and fast single trails, suitable for runners seeking a test for their legs and concentration. Friendlier options exist, including a pram-friendly introduction for families, beginners, and young trail runners. The mountain has its own microclimate and unpredictable spring conditions; pack as a trail runner, not based on town forecasts. A notable quirk is the discount for adults running with children under 15.
