Tassie Running Tour February 2025

Join Marie on a fun running weekend in Tasmania’s stunning North

There will be 4 runs (or walks) included in 4 Tassie locations- all different and beautiful. All courses are done at your own pace with the emphasis on getting out into nature and enjoying the amazing scenery Tassie has to offer.

The highlight of this running weekend is that it includes a brilliant running event in the lovely coastal town of Penguin- options are a Half Marathon or 10km.

We invite runners (or walkers) to come along and have some fun with like minded people and explore areas that are not always easy to get to in one weekend.

Marie has conducted running tours all over the world. She has lived in Tasmania for 8 years and is constantly blown away by the running locations here and cant wait to share Tassies running secrets with all her running buddies.
