Distance: 32km
Description:
The Blue Tier is a picturesque part of the North East Tasmanian highlands. Beautiful rainforest, stunning man fern gullies and a network of excellent mountain biking trails make for brililant trail running. As the track winds its way alongside crystal clear mountain streams and through the Goblin Forest you could be forgiven for thinking you had stumbled into a Tolkien novel!!
The run starts and finishes at the Weldborough hotel. The accent follows the original Blue tier track with its granite slabs and boulders and the odd creek crossing. The smooth and fast descent follows the newly constructed Blue Tier single-trail mountain bike track back to the pub! The total distance is approximately 32km. We will have a time cut off at about the 11km mark where we can turn you around making the total distance 26km. This is to ensure we are all finished and off the track before the mountain bikers hit the trails!
Compulsory equipment is required and includes: a thermal top, a space blanket, water (bladder or drink bottle), food (energy bar/gel/chocolate bar) and a roller bandage. A waterproof top and additional warm clothes/beanie/gloves are also suggested in case the weather gods do not smile on us!
There is accomodation, camping and meals available at the Weldborough hotel and there are also many accommodation options around the Derby/St Helens area if you wish to make a weekend of it - highly recommended!!!
