Hanmer Half Marathon

The Hanmer Half Marathon features a 21km trail that starts with an ascent up Conical Hill. Runners are rewarded with expansive views at the summit before venturing down into the dense, serene trails of Hanmer Forest. The environment is particularly striking in autumn, with golden hues accentuating the ancient trees and crisp mountain air.

For those looking for a less demanding but equally scenic experience, the 10.5km Heritage Traverse offers a flat, picturesque route. This course skirts the edge of Hanmer Springs Heritage Forest, weaving through vibrant woodland scenery characteristic of the season.

Both races showcase the natural beauty of the Hanmer Springs area, emphasizing the tranquil yet invigorating atmosphere ideal for running. The event encourages community participation and attracts a diverse group of participants, from competitive runners to casual walkers, making it a significant local sporting gathering.
