Event Details
Course Description
The Mother’s Day Classic courses wind through Hobart’s vibrant waterfront precinct, historic streets and gently rolling hills surrounding the city. Runners will experience a mix of flat, fast sections along the Derwent River and modest climbs that showcase Tasmania’s natural beauty. Whether tackling the 5 km family loop or the marathon’s longer stretch, the routes are well‑marked, road‑surface and suitable for all abilities, offering both scenic views and a motivating community vibe.
Getting There
The Mother’s Day Classic takes place across various locations in Hobart. As specific parking and public‑transport details are not listed, we recommend checking the official website for the nearest car‑park options and bus routes. Arrive early to allow time for bib collection and warm‑up, especially if you’re travelling from outside the city.

Weather & What to Pack
May is autumn in Tasmania, bringing cool, crisp conditions. Expect daytime highs of 8‑15 °C with a chance of light rain and moderate humidity. Dress in layers – a moisture‑wicking base, a light long‑sleeve top and a wind‑proof jacket are ideal. A hat or visor and gloves can help early‑morning runners stay comfortable, and stay hydrated even in cooler weather.
