Event Overview
Ridgy-Didge is a new Kunanyi Trail Series event in Hobart, Tasmania, scheduled for Sunday 27 September 2026 with the Event Hub at Ridgeway Oval. The program includes three options: Explorer 3km, Sport 7km, and Enduro 13km. Bib pick-up opens from 7:15am, followed by a briefing at 8:45am and staggered starts from 9:00am. Course information is supported by Strava maps and elevation profiles.
What the Course Demands
Across the three distances, the defining challenge is climbing and descending. The Enduro is listed at 13km with 600m elevation, while the Sport is 7km with 350m and the Explorer is 3km with 140m. Strava route details indicate similar totals for the longer courses (about 12.6km and 7.4km) and confirm substantial elevation change. Expect sustained efforts on uphills and controlled running on steeper descents.
Who This Event Suits Best
Ridgy-Didge suits runners who want a shorter, elevation-focused event with clear distance choices. The Explorer option is appropriate for newcomers who want an achievable introduction to the format, while Sport suits runners comfortable with repeated climbs. Enduro is better for experienced athletes who can manage longer continuous work at higher elevation gain and hold form late in the run.
