Lithgow Ridgy-Didge Trail Run Festival is staged by Blue Mountains Fitness at Hassans Walls Reserve, Lithgow, NSW. Now in its fifth edition, the festival offers multiple distances: 5km, 10km, 22km, 30km, 42.2km Marathon, and 50km Ultramarathon, plus a 1.6km kids race. The 50km Ultra shares the same elevation as the UT Something Ultra (about 2400m), while the 22km mirrors similar elevation benchmarks, making the event a challenging test across terrain.
Runners traverse Hassans Walls ridges on dirt roads, 4WD tracks, walking trails and mountain-bike single tracks, with spectacular valley views. On-course Tailwind fuel and a Tailwind Recovery area, drop-bag transport, mandatory gear, headlamps, camping, finish medals, and sponsor prizes add to the festival atmosphere.
