Sunday, 19 October 2025
Launceston, TAS
Formally the Balfour Burn, the St Giles Burn on 19 October 2025 is a family-friendly fundraising fun run / hill climb in Launceston, Tasmania.
Now starting in Elizabeth Street, the new course climbs up to the Welman Street junction where a right hand kink delivers runners to the finish line on Arthur Street adjacent to the new finish line precinct at St Georges Square.
The course features almost 40 metres of vertical climbing, or thirteen flights of stairs, over the 400 metre length.
The focus of the event is to bring fun run inclusion to Tasmanians of all abilities and raise awareness of each person's unique abilities.
