Point to Pinnacle

Point to Pinnacle is an annual road running and walking event in Hobart, Tasmania, scheduled for 15 November 2026. The event offers two main courses:

• 21.1 km Point to Pinnacle: starts at Wrest Point and finishes at the pinnacle of Mount Wellington, with 1,271 metres of elevation gain and an entry limit of 3,200.
• 10 km Point to Pub: runs from Wrest Point to the Fern Tree Tavern, climbing 426 metres, with an entry limit of 1,600.

Entry fees vary by event and period; examples include a standard entry of $120 for the 21.1 km and $75 for the 10 km, with higher late-entry rates. Finishers within the event time limits receive a finishers medal and a digital certificate. Runners who reach the Pinnacle in under two hours receive a P2P sub 2 hour cap, awarded only if the event reaches the Pinnacle.

Prizemoney is offered for top finishers in both events, with equal male and female prize values for the Point to Pinnacle and additional bonuses for race records. A Corporate Cup is awarded using the combined fastest four finishing times per registered corporate team. Team categories include Competitive four-person teams, Corporate teams, Recreational / Social teams, and Club teams.

Event services include spectator and gear buses, course drink stations, professional race photography, and pacers organised by the Tasmanian Road Runners. Walkers must not run in the Point to Pinnacle walk; runners may walk during the run but must meet all timing cut offs. Age rules apply for walkers and runners and younger participants on the Point to Pub. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
