Beyond the physical challenge, the Point to Pinnacle is a beacon of hope and support for various charities, including the Movember Foundation and their own Grassrootz platform. Over the years, participants have raised over $2.7 million, transforming personal achievements into communal victories. This year, we aim to soar even higher, and your participation could help make a significant impact.
While the race is a highlight, your adventure doesn't end at the finish line. Hobart has a vibrant culture, exquisite food, and a rich history. From the bustling Salamanca Market to the serene Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, there's much to explore and cherish on this curious island at the world's edge.
Every runner has a story. Last year, amidst the cheering crowds and the camaraderie of fellow participants, a first-time runner shared, "Reaching the summit wasn't just about the physical climb but realizing how much we can achieve when we set our minds to it. It's an experience that stays with you."
