Thousands of spectators are expected to line Inspection Head Wharf and the banks of the Tamar down to Low Head, and also follow the fleet on spectator craft out into Bass Strait.
First stopover is Lady Barron, the little fishing port on Flinders Island, where the running teams face a cross-country dash before scaling the granite peak of Mt Strzelecki.
After completing the run, the yachts sail down Tasmania’s East Coast to Coles Bay for a bushland climb to Mt Freycinet.
Finally, after reaching Hobart, either sailing around Tasman Island or taking the short-cut through the Dennison Canal at Dunnalley, the runners face the final challenge of Mt Wellington, towering above Tasmania’s capital city.
Hydro Tasmania is sponsoring the event for a third year.
