Event Details
Course Description
The Tolosa Half (Enduro, 21km, 830m elevation) is the Series' most popular course, an authentic mountain half-marathon leaving the edge of suburbia into denser mixed forest, past towering eucalypts and lichen-covered dolerite, over hand-built wooden bridges to The Springs before a flowing descent along the purpose-built North-South track. The Tolosa Quarter (Sport, 10km, 420m elevation) turns around at the Old Hobartians Track for a shorter taste of the same terrain. The Tolosa 5km (Explorer, 130m elevation) is a gentler, pram-friendly forest route suited to families, beginners and trail newcomers, though still rough underfoot. All courses run through Tolosa Park, Glenorchy, with the Hut 8 – Melaleuca hub as the shared start/finish.
