Description

Former Tasmanian resident, Jahn Pahwa instigated the inaugural 'run to collect a badge' back in 2016 with his kunanyi-Wellington Loop.

Thanks to Jahn's support and generosity, this 25.1km route has now been incorporated into this Wilder Trails community project.

The route begins in Hobart and takes participants to the summit of Mt Wellington before returning to the city.

​ The geology of the Wellington Park provides the physical foundation for the landscape, ecosystems and character of the Wellington Range – the sheer dolerite columns of the Organ Pipes, hidden caverns of Lost World, familiar features of Collins Cap and Collins Bonnet, the band of sandstone beneath the Wellington Range and mudstone waterfalls in the foothills.
