Tassie Trail Runs - 6 of Tassie's best trail runs!
The Tasmanian trail running series showcases some of Tassie's finest tracks and trails for off road running. These tracks vary in difficulty from gravelled paths to steep, rough tracks, but they are all great adventures and some of our favourite runs.
So if you like getting out in the bush and exploring your backyard then these runs are for you. While some may choose to race, these events are more about enjoying some awesome trails and the speed at which you do so is entirely up to you. Walkers are more than welcome.

Run #3 Labillardiere Peninsula circuit
Sunday 1st May 2011
17 km
The Labillardiere Peninsula on Bruny Island provides an ideal location for a return loop run.
This run starts at the Jetty beach campground and does a clockwise loop of the peninsula. Starting out on the 4wd track down the western side provides magnificent views of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and the Southern ranges. At the bottom, runners take in a rare view of Partridge Island from the picturesque Butlers Beach before following a beautiful single track along the eastern side of the peninsula back to Jetty Beach.
There is a nice campground at Jetty beach for those who want to camp the night before (or after). There is also great surfing, snorkelling, sea kayaking
and a few other walks nearby.
$30 pre-entry online
