We have been lucky enough to be able to stay and use Blue Derby Pods in Derby for a Trail Running 3 Day Tour.
The new Derby Trail Running 3 Day Tour. Over three days, you will run through the stunning and world-acclaimed Derby Trails. Your guides will take you to the places less run, opening up your senses to the brutal beauty of North East Tasmania.
DAY 1:
LAUNCESTON – DERBY TRAILS
8:15am-8:45am – Launceston bus pick up from your accommodation.
Journey begins in Launceston, Tasmania. Here you will meet your trail guides, before setting off with us out to the Derby Trails. You will start running along the world-acclaimed trails mid-morning.
After conquering your first morning on the trails, you will settle into a late alfresco picnic lunch. Your afternoon adventure is optional; you can continue exploring the trails or relax in the Tasmanian bush setting surrounding our exclusive hub site.
Once nestled into the hub and your pod, your guides will delight your taste buds with a local, fresh dinner featuring Tasmanian ingredients.
Take it easy – Relax in the natural setting of your lunch spot, or be the first to make it to the Blue Derby Pods accommodation.
DAY 2:
DERBY MOUNTAIN TRAILS
Starting a little later today, you’ll enjoy a slow breakfast at the Blue Derby Pods hub. The choice is yours today, join your guides on a morning run through a diverse range of Tasmanian forest and environment, or continue relaxing at the Blue Derby Pods hub.
After a delectable lunch prepared by your guides back at the Blue Derby Pods hub, again you have a decision to make, pursue the library in the hub, or join an afternoon run, through rainforest, tackling some world class trails.
Feeling invigorated and refreshed, tonight you’ll toast to your day’s adventures. Indulging in another gourmet dinner prepared by your guides, before you retire to your secluded pods for one last night.
Take it easy – Have the whole day to yourself relaxing at the Blue Derby Pods hub and pods. Explore the extensive library, practice yoga, drink endless cups of tea or indulge in more local produce. Alternatively, join a morning or afternoon run.
DAY 3:
DERBY TRAILS – BLUE TIER - LAUNCESTON
4:30-5:00pm – Group finishes back in Launceston.
Waking in your pods refreshed, ready for your final day of adventures. After which, you’ll run out to the tiny town of Derby where you’ll be transported up to the top of the Blue Tier, the highest point of the Blue Derby Trail network, and the start of your descent through lush, dense rainforest down to Weldborough.
Feeling high on fresh air and endorphins, you will enjoy an alfresco private lunch at Weldborough. Reflecting on the kilometres travelled and the adventures you’ve had, it will be hard to take the smile off your face.
Journeying back to where you started in Launceston, you’ll toast to your three-day trail running adventure. Any apprehensions from the first morning are now a distant memory, and have instead been replaced with the brutal beauty of Tasmania's North West and Blue Derby Pods.
Take it easy – Skip the run, and relax a little longer at the Blue Derby Pods Ride accommodation.
