About This Event

The Ridgy-Didge Trail Run Festival unfolds across the dramatic ridgelines of Hassans Walls in Australia's Blue Mountains, offering runners a chance to traverse some of the region's most spectacular terrain. Set against a backdrop of towering cliff lines, ferny gullies, and rocky ridges, this festival-style event combines the challenge of technical mountain running with the celebration of trail community. With seven distances ranging from a kids' race to a demanding 50-kilometer ultra, the event caters to runners across the experience spectrum. The courses wind through classic Blue Mountains landscapes, mixing technical singletrack with mountain bike trails and fire roads. The festival atmosphere extends beyond the racing, with live music, local brewery offerings, and presentations that celebrate the achievements of all participants. The event's location at Hassans Walls provides access to some of the highest lookouts in the Blue Mountains, ensuring runners experience sweeping views alongside the physical challenge. Safety remains paramount in this rugged environment, with comprehensive mandatory gear requirements reflecting the serious nature of mountain trail running in Australian conditions.
