This opportunity will be strictly limited to Find Your Feet & low guest numbers to respect the region & other users of these trails. This trail running tour is challenging but will deliver memories that will stick with you forever. It is imperative that our Alpine Tasmania Extreme trail running tour is scheduled into your year as if it were a race. We expect that our guests will arrive in excellent physical condition, having prepared specifically for the challenges. We reserve the right to remove a guest from participating in some of the runs during the tour if we feel that there is a discrepancy between their ability & the difficulty of the run. In this circumstance, an alternative trail run will be provided. The Cradle Mountain- Lake St Clair National Park can experience severe weather conditions. Therefore, Find Your Feet cannot ascertain with 100% assurance that guests will be able to complete the described itinerary. Conduction of each day's run will be at the discretion of Find Your Feet Management and your guides, and will be non-negotiable. In the event of severe weather that restricts access to certain trails and summits, guests will participate in a series of alternative, safer runs within the National Park. Finally, our Find Your Feet Tours are holidays involving trail running. To the best of our abilities, we will craft each days’ runs to individual needs, stopping frequently to soak in the region's ambience and to stop for photos. |
