kunanyi Trail Series

Welcome to the kunanyi Trail Series!

We’re all about getting more people out on the trails – and kunanyi is the perfect host! Our courses feature trails through alpine heaths and past dolerite cliffs, to dry peppermint forests and buttongrass moorland. The palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal community) generously welcome and share kunanyi with trail runners – and for that, we’re eternally grateful.

Our Trail Series is an opportunity for new adventures – and you don’t need to be a seasoned trail runner! Our four events cater to different abilities and experience, as well as your preferences. Like fast flowing single trails? We have those! Prefer technical rock hopping? We have that too! Considering your first ever trail run? We’d love to have you along!

At each event, choose from the longer Enduro distance or the shorter Sport distance. Both distances are great runs in their own right. The Sport distance is fantastic if you’re a trail kid (or have one at home!), if you’d prefer to run a shorter run, or if you’re dipping your toes into trail running for the first time.

We’re also introducing a third distance at our extremely popular Tolosa Half & Tolosa Quarter in Winter: 5km.

We aim to be welcoming, and want to make trail running accessible to as many people as possible! Your support crew are very welcome to join us, and we have free BBQs, and games for the kids at our Event hubs, to give you the chance to have a yarn and connect with others in our beautiful trail running community.

We invite you to run with kunanyi.
