Event Overview
Run Tasmania Stage Race is a four-day running stage race held from 25–28 November 2026, based around Hobart and South-East Tasmania including the Tasman Peninsula. The event offers two stage-race options: the Devil Long Course and the Quoll Short Course, each spread across four daily stages. The schedule moves through different parts of the region, with stages around Kingston/Hobart, kunanyi / Mount Wellington, Fortescue Bay, and Cape Raoul.
What the Course Demands
Across both course options, the route combines repeated climbing with long, sustained descents and sections that reward precise foot placement. Day-to-day demands change, with an alpine stage on kunanyi / Mount Wellington and later stages on the Tasman Peninsula featuring extended climbs and exposed cliff-top traverses. The event is described as lightly marked, with competitors expected to follow a provided GPS route and manage key navigation decisions, especially early in the race.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners who want a structured multi-day format and can handle consecutive days of varied terrain and significant elevation change. The Quoll option is the more approachable choice for athletes stepping up from single-day events, while the Devil option better matches experienced trail runners comfortable with harder climbs, longer stages, and higher cumulative load. It also suits athletes who prefer supported logistics while still being responsible for self-navigation.
