Tour Itinerary
What words can capture all of this alpine beauty? We are uplifted.
A small pack on your back, lightly skipping over the rocks and roots. Up ahead a vista is opening, showcasing biblical peaks that tower over tranquil tarns. The world feels quite out here, as if you are running along a winding trail towards a temple. You pause for a picture and as you take a refreshing sip from the gurgling stream, a gaggle of eager trail enthusiasts, your new friends, join you. Together you point excitedly at the view before setting off together, dancing. Where else would you want to be...?

Join us for a unique trail running experience into the heart of two world famous Tasmanian landscapes - the Walls of Jerusalem & Cradle Mountain National Parks. Both reserves are famous for their Gondwanen vegetation, tucked-away mountain tarns, dolerite peaks & exceptional trails.

Over the duration of our tour you will have access to our expert guides and coaches who always strive to facilitate an environment of education and learning for all elements of trail running. We are eager to share our knowledge on gear, equipment, nutrition, wilderness safety and conservation,  adventure or race planning, local environmental and cultural significance   and  running techniques tips and tricks that will have you dancing, thriving and keeping safe on the trails.  This tour is one not to be missed!
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
  • ​Run into the heart of the Walls of Jerusalem National Park & visit the ancient Gondwanan Pencil Pine trees
  • Scale the biblically-named dolerite mountains that make this national park so famous
  • Experience Cradle Mountain and the northern end of the world renowned Overland Track
  • Watch wildlife in their natural habitat including wombats and maybe even a platypus
  • Enjoy Tasmanian mountain cabin accommodation, resting by the heat of a wood fire after a day on the trails
  • Enjoy the camaraderie of your new trail running friends​
I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful trip last week. I am, and always will be so grateful for the time and effort you all took to ensure we had a tremendous time. And we did!! I think we all came away with a real sense of wonder at the insane beauty of the landscapes you showed us but that certainly wasn’t the extent of it. Your belief in our abilities and support through tough times out there has given me so much confidence to search for bigger, wilder experiences and have a crack at them!
Hanny, your generosity with your time and sharing your knowledge is second to none! The way you spoke about finding what makes your toes tingle has changed the way I will approach not only training, but the way I choose to spend my days. Such small conversations which will have a huge flow on effect for me, my family and so on! I can’t even fathom how important it is for my kids to have a braver, more courageous mum and the belief you had in us last week will play a massive role in that!
A million thank yous!! - Kate
 I am so grateful to have experienced such an amazing holiday journey with you all.  The tour continued to rekindle my love of running and being in nature and the outdoors.  I learned so much, had so much fun, and had plenty of time for restful reflection and contemplation in such a beautiful landscape (OMG so beautiful every moment I looked around!). The energy, comfort, support and joy that we all shared as a group was amazing and I am so grateful for the work you all put in to help facilitate this experience. I can’t wait to join you again in 2020. - Gavan

What a spectacular five days we had running, jogging, climbing and sliding in the cradle mountains. Hanny, Ash and Linda certainly did a terrific job guiding us through the maze of trails as well as taking us off the beaten track to show us 1000 year old trees and spectacular views and waterfalls. Great company and good food kept us all wishing it would never end. Great balance of physical exertion and easy efforts with entertaining down time as well. Keen to do another trip - Judy 
Hanny and Graham and the “Find Your Feet” team are more than trail running guides. They are passionate about the natural environment; they love Tasmania and delight is showcasing it to others. Our Tassie trip was the perfect mix of running, exploring, learning about this beautiful State intermingled with good food, great conversation and good old fashioned R&R. Hanny and the guides catered for all running abilities and being a “plodder” was completely okay. I had a great time and will definitely return for more epic adventures with “Find your Feet” - Julia

This tour provided a good balance of adventure and downtime. The crew were well organised and the group of likeminded runners were great company, many new friendships made. Lake St Clair and Cradle Mountain were two fantastic destinations, with Mt Rufus and Dove Lake (in snow) my highlights. Also, our Lake St Clair afternoon picnic (in sunshine!) was a lot of fun – plenty laughs (ask Hanny) - Jane

What Our Guests Are Saying

We were always so nervous about being 'those ones'... the individuals holding up the group. But right from the start we were welcomed onto the trip and given encouragement and confidence that this was so, so much more than 'just a running tour'. Throught our 5 days on the tour we both grew inches, learning not just about running but about the art of growing, playing & performing wilder. Thank you so much to the team at Find Your Feet for helping us to find our feet. We cannot wait to return again!
