Description

The Overland Track is one of Australia's most famous treks.

Starting in 1981, the Cradle Mountain Run is a one day traverse of Tasmania's famous Cradle Mt to Lake St Clair Overland track. The beauty of this run is that it traverses wild alpine areas of Tasmania's Cradle Mt Lake St Clair National Park and World Heritage Area. The altitude of the track in several areas of the plateau is greater than 1000 metres, which by world standards is not high, but here is well above the tree line. This low tree line illustrates the exposure and harshness of conditions that can prevail even in summer.

As per the FKT Guidelines, race records from the Cradle Mountain Run can count towards supported FKTs..
