runHub

2024 Event Booklet Event Schedule

Our runHub is more than just a start-finish line and tents. It is a place for runners, supporters, volunteers and the local community to come and connect.

It is the beating heart of our festival – where we share experiences that celebrate palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal) culture and knowledge, as well as stories about kunanyi itself, the flora and fauna who call kunanyi home, and so much more!’

Smoking Ceremonies are held before each run (at the runHub). They are powerful cultural experiences and previous runners regularly tell us how they’ve subsequently run with kunanyi with a fresh cultural lens.

Our runHub also has all the good stuff: an excellent view of kunanyi, food vans (including veg & vegan options), hot & cold drinks (including classic Tassie beverages), live music, complimentary physio & foot treatments and an expo. And importantly, our runHub is kid (and dog) friendly!

Getting to our runHub

Our runHub is located at Wellesley Park, in South Hobart – it’s (almost!) a stone’s throw from the famous Cascade Brewery.

Get there by taking the meandering rivulet track (by foot, bike or scooter!) or catch a public bus. If you do have to drive, all our runHub parking is on the Cascade Paddocks on Strickland Avenue. Head to our kMR Community Group to find someone to carpool with!
