Quick Facts
Getting There
The 10km starts at Ninja Stadium on Derwent Street, whilst the 5km events begin at Montagu Bay Primary School. Street parking is available in surrounding areas, though arrive early as spaces fill quickly on race morning. Public toilets are located at both start venues, at aid stations, the PW1 shed forecourt, and Salamanca Square near the finish.

Weather & What to Pack
Mid-February in Hobart typically brings pleasant late summer conditions, with average temperatures ranging from 12°C to 22°C. Mornings can be cool at the 7:00 AM start time, so consider wearing a light long-sleeved top or arm warmers that you can remove as you warm up. Tasmania's weather can be changeable, so check the forecast in the days leading up to the event. The early start helps avoid the heat of the day. Sunscreen is essential, even on cloudy mornings. Hydration stations are positioned along the course, but carrying your own water bottle is recommended, particularly for the 10km distance.
