The Point to Pinnacle in Hobart is a half marathon and 10K on Sunday, 18 November 2018.

The Knight Frank Point to Pinnacle (P2P) is regarded by many as the toughest half marathon in the world, and for good reason, with just over 1270m of ascending, gradients above 10% and extreme changes in climate and weather conditions. The event is a challenge of the human spirit and allows people of all ages and abilities to be involved through our walk or run. It is now one of Tasmania's iconic events that draws many people from interstate and internationally each year. This will undoubtedly be a wonderful experience for you.
