Event Overview
The Triple Top Mountain Run is held near Sheffield, Tasmania on Sunday 8 November 2026. First run in 1991, it is known for linking three mountains—Mount Claude, Van Dyke and Mount Roland—across established walking tracks. The event is listed as 19.7km and finishes at Claude Road Hall, with competitors transported by bus to the start at Round Mountain. It is positioned as a demanding run for experienced entrants.
What the Course Demands
This course is defined by sustained climbing and steep descending, with sources noting over 1,100m of elevation and close to 1,000m of descent over the final 5km. Expect extended periods where pace is dictated by gradient and technical footing, followed by a fast, fatiguing finish section. Efficient movement on steep terrain and controlled descending are central to executing the run well.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event generally suits runners who are comfortable on long, steep climbs and who can stay composed late in the run when the descent becomes decisive. It is a good match for athletes looking for a compact-distance race with significant elevation and technical variability. For newer trail runners, it may be better approached after building experience on less demanding mountain courses.
