Event Overview
Russell Falls is a 6.2km running event staged at National Park at the base of Mt Field, Tasmania, on 23 August 2026. The run starts at 10:00am with a briefing at 9:45am, and on-event registration opens from 8:30am. Organised by Endorfun, the course is described as beginner-friendly while still offering a solid hit-out for experienced runners. The route includes key scenic features around the Russell Falls area.
What the Course Demands
This short-distance loop is described as well constructed and maintained, but it is not entirely flat or uninterrupted. The standout features are two long flights of stairs, and the 2026 course direction takes runners up both stair sections. That creates sharp changes in effort and rewards controlled pacing through the stair climbs. Expect the course to suit steady running with brief, concentrated bursts of strength and coordination.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits athletes who are newer to organised running events and want a manageable distance in a supportive format. It also fits experienced runners looking for a short, technical-feeling run where stairs influence rhythm and leg load. Anyone comfortable handling repeated stair climbing within a continuous run will be well matched to the course, even if overall distance is modest.
