Why Project Run?
We take the thinking out of it. You just show up and run! We handle the routes, the logistics, and the experience so you can lock in on the trails, the people and the adventure. We THRIVE on small group adventures to allow for more personalised pacing and support, flexibility across all runs and most importantly a strong group connection.
What to expect…
Arrive, settle in and meet the crew. We’ll kick things off with a 30 minute shakeout run from town followed by pizza, drinks and a full trip briefing.
Day 1 - Thursday October 15th.Our first major adventure starts right from the heart of Hobart, heading straight into the mountains. We’ll climb 15km through the trails of kunanyi (Mount Wellington), moving from forest into alpine terrain, with sweeping views over the harbour city below. It’s a proper introduction to what Tasmania has to offer. A support vehicle will meet us at the summit, you can run back down or catch a lift. The choice is yours! Later in the arvo we will treat ourselves to a recovery session at Nova Holistic Spa Centre where you can sweat it out in the sauna, test out your pain threshold in the ice bath or simply enjoy a relaxing therapeutic float in a magnesium hot tub.
Day 2 - Friday October 16th.With a big day in the legs, we’ll ease things back slightly. We’ll share some historic insights in the harbour before a shorter 12km run up a quiet trail with panoramic views to get things moving. We’ll part ways at the famous Salamanca Markets and give you the day to explore Hobart, grab a good coffee, or just slow things down and reset. We’ll regroup in the evening with dinner to refuel for one last big day ahead.
Day 3 - Saturday October 17th.We’ll jump on the bus and head an hour out of Hobart to hit our favourite coastal trail. This 18km stretch of trail is full of surprises and finishes up in a beautiful bay where we will set up for a BBQ lunch. We’ll soak up the scene before a sneaky 5km run/hike out to one of the most picturesque cliffs in all of Tasmania! The bus will come pick us up from the bay and we’ll go get cleaned up for a final reminiscent group dinner.
Day 4 - Sunday October 18th.Day 5 - Monday October 19th.Let's get into one last little 5km trot along the harbour, then enjoy some good coffee and our final moments together. Leave feeling stronger, clearer and more connected with memories that will last a lifetime.
