Event Details
Course Description
The race starts and finishes at the Hobart Regatta Grounds on the Queens Domain, a flat, paved circuit that loops around the historic venue. Runners follow a well‑marked road course lit with neon glow sticks and colourful lighting, with the River Derwent and city skyline providing a scenic backdrop. The 600 m kids’ sprint is a quick dash, while the 2 km, 4 km and 8 km routes are multiple laps of the same loop, allowing participants to soak up the party atmosphere, music and cheering volunteers. The course is easy‑grade with no hills, making it suitable for all fitness levels while still offering a fun night‑time challenge.
Getting There
The event is held at the Hobart Regatta Grounds on the Queens Domain, Hobart. Parking is available on‑site at the Regatta Grounds. Participants are advised to arrive early – aim to be there at least 30 minutes before your start time – and collect your bib and wristband at the registration desk. For public transport options and detailed parking information, please visit the official event website.
Weather & What to Pack
September is spring in Tasmania, with mild temperatures typically ranging from 10 °C to 17 °C and a chance of light rain or breeze. Dress in layers – a light jacket or long‑sleeve shirt over a breathable base – and wear bright, reflective clothing for safety. Bring a water bottle, but you’ll likely stay hydrated with the cooler weather. Check the forecast closer to race day and adjust your attire accordingly.
