Ridgy Didge Trail Run Festival 2025
April 5 @ 7:00 am - 6:00 pm
A trail running race at Hassan’s Walls Reserve had been on the minds of runners over the years as they explored the ridges on the Hassan’s Walls escarpments above Lithgow. Blue Mountains Fitness proudly held the first trail run race on Hassan’s Walls in 2022. We held the awesome 2023 and 2024 editions and we now have the 2025 Lithgow Ridgy-Didge Trail Festival ready to rock!
We have multiple distance options to choose from – brand new 5km (new course) and 10km (new course), 22km, 30km, 42.2km Marathon and the totally awesome 50km Ultra Marathon. The 50km Ultramarathon has the same 2500m (+/-) elevation as the UTA50 so a it’s a prefect training run 6 weeks out from UTA. The 22km has the same elevation as the UTA22.
There will be a free 1.6km kids race for those under 12.
The 50km Marathon takes on the 13 ridges of Hassan’s Walls 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.
All finishers will receive the awesome Ridgy-Didge medal !
