kunanyi/Mount Wellington, Tasmania
on kunanyi/Mount Wellington, above nipaluna/Hobart, Tasmania. Choose the 25K, 46K, 66K solo or 66K relay and move from forested lower slopes onto the alpine ridges, through roughly nine distinct landscapes and Tasmania’s famously unpredictable weather.
The course climbs through forested lower slopes before rising onto the alpine ridges of kunanyi/Mt Wellington, crossing roughly nine different landscape and microclimate types along the way.
Official 25K CourseA mix of forest singletrack and rocky, boulder strewn sections leading onto the exposed alpine plateau, with fern gullies that can run wet and slippery underfoot.
Official 46K CourseAn extremely technical crossing over dolerite boulder fields, the Organ Pipes Track and the Zig Zag stone pitched track, across the alpine plateau and the Montagu Thumbs ridge traverse, through fern gullies and rainforest to an exposed ridgeline.
Official 66K CourseRun a leg of the 66K Ultra as part of a relay team, taking on steep climbs, technical descents and Mt Wellington’s unpredictable alpine weather for your section of the course.
Official 66K Relay CourseWhy Her Trails
Her Trails brings together event-specific programming, weekly coaching, female-focused education and a community preparing for the same race weekend.
A progressive 25K, 46K or 66K program built around kunanyi/Mt Wellington’s alpine terrain, elevation, likely conditions and the demands of your distance.
Bring your training, injury, pacing, fuelling, recovery and race day questions to a live group coaching call each week. Ask live or submit your question beforehand, with replays available afterwards.
Practical education woven throughout the program on menstrual cycles, perimenopause, menopause, pelvic health, fuelling, energy availability, recovery and injury risk.
Strength, mobility and recovery practices sit inside the training program. They are not treated as optional extras or referred to another product.
Prepare alongside women taking on the same event. Share the uncertain weeks, long run lessons, questions, progress and race week anticipation with people who understand the goal.
Practise pacing, fuelling, hydration, heat management, equipment, terrain, run walk strategy and race day logistics during the training block, before those decisions carry consequences.
A plan on its own is just numbers on a page. Her Trails turns those numbers into training you understand, support you can lean on, and a community that gets you to the start line ready.
How Do I Join

Best value if you are training year round.
Kunanyi Through the Her Trails Lens
What the course demands
Kunanyi's trails climb from forested lower slopes onto the alpine ridges of kunanyi/Mt Wellington, crossing roughly nine different landscape and microclimate types. For the 66K, that means dolerite boulder fields, the Organ Pipes Track, the Zig Zag stone pitched track and the Montagu Thumbs ridge traverse.
This is technical terrain, not just a long way to run. Footwork, descending confidence and climbing strength matter as much as fitness.
Tasmania's weather on the mountain is famously unpredictable, and conditions can shift quickly across the exposed alpine plateau.
How this program prepares you
Vertical and climbing strength built deliberately, and race specific long runs that mirror the demands of your distance, from the 25K's alpine ridges to the full 66K technical crossing.
Descending confidence, technical footwork and fuelling discipline built into your training, not left to race week.
A program that respects real life while it prepares a steady mind for a long day on the mountain.

From The Trail
Technical terrain does not punish fitness. It punishes a careless foot.
Kunanyi's dolerite boulder fields and stone pitched tracks are unforgiving in a different way to a runnable course. Climbing strength gets you up the mountain, but it is descending confidence and technical footwork that get you down it safely.

Kunanyi Through the Her Trails Lens
Kunanyi rewards more than fitness. It rewards athletes who can climb strongly, descend with confidence and keep making useful decisions as the terrain gets harder.
What the Courses Demand
The Kunanyi 25K, 46K and 66K climb from forested lower slopes onto the alpine ridges of kunanyi/Mt Wellington, crossing roughly nine different landscape and microclimate types. This is technical terrain, which makes footwork and descending as important as fitness.
The challenge changes with the distance. The 25K rewards controlled climbing and confident footwork. The 46K adds sustained vertical effort, fuelling and durability across fern gullies and rocky, boulder strewn sections. The 66K requires long-day management on dolerite boulder fields, the Organ Pipes Track, the Zig Zag stone pitched track and the Montagu Thumbs ridge traverse.
Across all distances, the goal is not simply to climb well. It is to descend safely and keep moving well as fatigue builds on technical ground.
How Her Trails Prepares You
Each distance has its own progressive program, building vertical and climbing strength, descending confidence and race-specific endurance without asking you to reproduce the full race in training.
Technical footwork, fuelling, hydration, equipment and pacing on climbs and descents are practised within your training, so they are familiar before race day.
The programming goes beyond the sessions themselves, with in-depth guidance on pacing, fuelling, recovery, menstrual cycles, perimenopause and menopause, injury risk and adapting training around real life. Weekly live coaching calls give you a place to bring your own context, ask questions and work through when to maintain the plan, modify a session or step back.
