When the night is longest, we run. A truly Tasmanian winter adventure, the Knockers Solstice Trail Run takes you through native bushland, with spectacular views of the glowing lights of Hobart below.

Explore Hobart’s trails by headtorch in this midwinter run, which kicks of the 2026 Kunanyi Trail Series.

You’ll feel the cold, still air in your skin. Watch for wallabies, bandicoots and owls, coming out to feed.

Just a few minutes from Hobart’s CBD, Knocklofty Reserve is nestled in the foothills of Kunanyi/Mt Wellington and is home to hundreds of plants and wildlife – many of them rare and threatened.

The Kunanyi Trail Series is made up of 4 different trail running events from June-November, offering shorter and longer distances. Be competitive if you want, or simply have fun with friends and family. There are free BBQs, and games for the kids at our Event hubs, and while you run, kids can also be dropped off at our Bush Play drop-off service, run by Free to Be. BushPlay and Learning.
