The 2026 Hobart Run the Bridge will be held on the 15th of February.
Features of the DoDay Hobart Run the Bridge include:
There's no better start line for the states premier fun run, than the state's premier sporting facility. Runners can use the facilities of Ninja Stadium (Bellerive Oval) to warm up and prepare before starting outside.
Tasmania's busiest and most iconic piece of infrastructure, the Tasman Bridge. At 1396m long, both 5km and 10km participants get to cross it as the only public event each year to have lane closure.
After running along the Bellerive Bluff, the course enters historic Bellerive Quay which offers brilliant coastal views, historical buildings and then runners move onto the new Kangaroo Bay precinct.
With the last few kilometres hugging the Hobart Waterfront, the event finishes on Castray Esplanade at beautiful Salamanca. After your run/walk, head to brunch at any number of cafes.

The Spectran Group 10km event commences from the main gates of Ninja Stadium at 7:10am. The men’s course record is 28:28 and the women’s is 32:21, set by Jack Rayner and Genevieve Gregson in 2021. Participants run in a south-west direction down Derwent Street, turning right onto Victoria Esplanade, and through into Bellerive Village to the traffic lights on the corner of Clarence Street and Cambridge Road. Participants then run along Cambridge Road to the traffic lights at Alma Street, where they turn left towards the newly developed Kangaroo Bay, then right at the roundabout heading to the traffic lights at Eastlands Shopping Centre. Participants will then turn left up Rosny Hill Road (past Rosny College) towards the Tasman Highway, before descending onto the Tasman Bridge. Once across the bridge, follow the Tasman Highway to Evans street, before running through Constitution Dock, onto Castray Esplanade before finishing outside PW1 shed.

With the Tasman Bridge fully closed to vehicles, both The Athlete's Foot 5km Run and the Positive Salary Packaging 5km Walk start on the Tasman Bridge. The start line is approximately 500m from Montagu Bay Primary School, on the Tasman Bridge. If you’re in the 5km events, we encourage you to get onto the bridge at 7:40am and watch the 10km runners come through as you walk to the start line. The course will then be exactly the same as the second 5km of the 10km event. Therefore the turn for the 5km events will be further around the corner this year, as you’ll have 1km to go once you pass the finish line. All entrants must reach Evans Street by 8:50am, or course marshals will usher you onto the footpath (so the Tasman Bridge can open up by 9am).

The Liv Eat 1km commences from Castray Esplanade. Participants travel along Castray Esplanade to the CSIRO, where they turn around, and continue back along Castray Esplanade to the finish line, completing 1 lap. The finish line will be the same for all events, located outside Princes Wharf Shed No. 1.
