Hobart races by distance

Use the distance lists below when you already know the race you want. The Cadbury Marathon is the named marathon. The Hobart Marathon Festival is where to look for a shorter race on the same weekend. Both Kunanyi events belong in the trail list. If a distance section is thin, that is the city calendar, not a missing filter.

Trending events on this page are the ones people have been opening on RunDais over the last 30 days.
