Australia’s toughest half marathon, the Point to Pinnacle takes runners all the way from the Hobart foreshore up to the summit of Mt Wellington, 1,270 metres above sea level. The Knight Frank Point to Pinnacle run and recreational walk starts at Wrest Point car park following Sandy Bay Road, left into Byron Street and left into Davey Street at Hotel Soho. Davey Street becomes Huon Road as it travels the route to the right turn onto Pillinger Drive and on to the pinnacle of Mount Wellington. The course is 21.4km long and just over 1,270 metres in elevation. This race is physically challenging and scenically stunning.
The Point to Pub 10km Fun Run starts at Wrest Point car park following Sandy Bay Road, left into Byron Street and left into Davey Street at Hotel Soho. Davey Street becomes Huon Road as it travels the route to the Fern Tree Tavern. The course is 10km long and climbs 460m in elevation.
In the event of weather precluding participants from reaching the pinnacle safely, there will be contingency routes that will allow progress up the mountain as far as possible to a point that will enable buses and finishing procedures to be in place. Make sure that you get in early as the event usually sells out within 30 days!
