Lithgow Ridgy-Didge Trail Run Festival 2023
25 March 2023 @ 7:00 am - 6:00 pm
Lithgow Ridgy-Didge Trail Run Festival 2023
A trail running race at Hassans Walls Reserve had been on the minds of runners over the years as they explored the ridges on Hassans Walls above Lithgow. Blue Mountains Fitness proudly got the first trail run race on Hassans Walls in 2022 and we now have the 2023 Lithgow Ridgy-Didge Trail Festival ready to rock!
We have multiple distance options to choose from – 7km, 13km, 22km, 30km, Marathon and the new totally awesome 50km. Plus there will be the fun 1km Kids race for those under 12. The 50km and Marathon take on the thirteen ridges of Hassans Walls with varying elevation gain/loss, accumulating over 2500 metres on dirt roads, 4WD trails, walking trails and mountain bike single tracks. The other distances will be shorter and have less elevation gain/loss. You’ll run past many lookouts that give spectacular views of the Lithgow, Hartley, Megalong and Kanimbla Valleys. We have worked hard to add more loop trails to the course, reducing the number of out/backs on the ridges.
Tailwind Nutrition Australia is the supplier of the on-course race fuel and Tailwind Rebuild Recovery Area.
There will be free massage in the recovery area.
T8, BMF and Summit Gear Katoomba will also be at the event and provide sponsor prizes. Summit Gear Katoomba and Blue Mountains Fitness will also have their ranges of trail run gear at the Event Hub.
Lithgow Workies Club are a major sponsor and we’ll have check in there on the Friday evening and at the Pony Club on Saturday morning.
