A trail running race at Hassans Walls Reserve had been on the minds of runners over the years as they explored the ridges on Hassans Walls above Lithgow. Blue Mountains Fitness proudly got the first trail run race on Hassans Walls in 2022 and we now have the 2023 Lithgow Ridgy-Didge Trail Festival ready to rock!

The 50km and Marathon take on the thirteen ridges with varying elevation gain/loss, accumulating over 2500 metres on dirt roads, 4WD trails, walking trails and mountain bike single tracks. The other distances will be shorter and have less elevation gain/loss. You’ll run pass many lookouts that give spectacular views of the Lithgow, Hartley, Megalong and Kanimbla Valleys.

This year we have some spectacular loops that reduce the out and backs of the innaugural 2022 race.
