Bruny Island Long Weekend is partnering with Find Your Feet Tours to offer a three day trail running experience of Bruny Island.
We will depart from Tasmania’s capital Hobart to Bruny Island by private boat, to explore the best of Bruny Island's celebrated and hidden trails. Run, recover, relax and indulge with celebrated Bruny Island produce directly from the source. Connect with nature staying at a remote luxury camp and enjoy exquisite meals. Today our goal is to run to a spectacular cape on the east coast of Bruny Island. After a flat beginning, our run will skirt around lagoons to stunning secluded beaches, unique rock formations, dunes and trails weaving through coastal heath to expansive ocean views. There are opportunities to swim at Miles beach and Cape Queen Elizabeth.
On our new trail runs, you'll venture out to "be wilder, play wilder and perform wilder".
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!

AN ISLAND SANCTUARY
On the edge of the Southern Ocean lies Bruny Island. It’s a place of bountiful produce, rare wildlife, rainforest and windswept beaches. A “Long Weekend” on Bruny Island captures and epitomises the Tasmanian experience. Our groups have exclusive use of our completely off-grid private accommodation, nestled in amongst tall eucalypts on the foothills of Mt Mangana at the southern end of Bruny Island.
With our days spent running in wild, powerful, coastal places, our campsite is a sanctuary we can return to each evening. Featuring a gorgeous bespoke designed celery top timber kitchen and dining room, four canvas tents containing split king beds with quality linen, towels and pillows. The highlight for many of our guests is an incredible hot water shower discretely located with spectacular views!
One of the best things about our accommodation being located at the southern end of Bruny Island is the night sky. With no light pollution, the stars are just incredible and occasionally we have been lucky enough to experience the Aurora Australis

Minimum Run Duration: 6km/75min
Maximum Run Duration: 18km/4hrs Technical Difficulty: Beginner - Moderate (some trail experience required) Steepness: Undulating fire-trails to very steep mountain slopes * Our tours are a holiday involving trail running. Our guides will craft each days’ runs to meet your individual needs and en route will frequently stop to soak up the ambience and to take plenty of photos. Therefore, running distances noted in this itinerary can vary to differentiate between guest abilities and make your Find Your Feet Tour a rich experience. Furthermore, the itinerary of this trip is weather-dependent and can be subject to change. This is due to the scheduled boat trip and the slippery granite slopes on the upper stretches of the mountains. All endeavours will be made to execute the itinerary although safety will always be prioritised. |
