When the night is longest, we run. A truly Tasmanian winter adventure, the Knockers Solstice Trail Run takes you through native bushland, with spectacular views of the glowing lights of Hobart below.

Explore Hobart’s trails by headtorch in this midwinter run. You’ll feel the cold, still air in your skin. Watch for wallabies, bandicoots and owls, coming out to feed.

The Knockers courses include a beautiful mix of wide, smooth firetrail and well-built single tracks, with and a little bit of technical running for good measure! There are heaps of awesome views of Kunanyi, timtumili minanya/Derwent River and the sparkling night lights of Hobart.

The Enduro course includes the new, shared-use trail across Noah’s Saddle. And we’re using almost all of the new, super runnable and spectacular, Knocksofty and the Yellow Hippo Track.

 The Knockers Solstice courses have been tweaked slightly from our regular Knockers courses to avoid the big hills at the start and the complexity with the loop.

Stick around after your run/hike and enjoy a Robbie’s Wood-fired pizza, straight out of the oven, and a Cascade lager or Tassie wine, as you chat with othes and enjoy the night lights of Hobart (and maybe even Dark Mofo’s grand finale, the Ogah Ogah: The Burning).

We’re getting into the spirit of Hobart’s Paint the Town Red theme, and encourage you to as well! You might want to:

🔴Bring a red light (or two)! 

🔴Wear a red light on the back of your head

We also encourage/welcome dress-ups if that’s your thing!

Remember to bring a head torch!

We recommend your head torch has a minimum 300 lumens. If you don’t have one, the team at

Find Your Feet can help you out.
