The Bluff 2 Boat Ramp is one of Tasmania's most popular community fun runs, a fast, flat out-and-back along the Devonport waterfront on the state's north-west coast. Taking in the city's revitalised Living City precinct and the scenic coastline, it's a welcoming, family-focused event that's equally good for chasing a quick time or strolling with the kids.
The 10km course is a certified road course — both World Athletics and AIMS measured — making it a legitimate option for runners chasing an accurate PB. There's also a 5km run or walk, a 1.5km walk and a Kids' 500m Dash, so there's something for every age and ability. The flat, coastal profile means it's a genuinely fast morning out.
Held in autumn, conditions on the coast are usually cool and ideal for running. It's an affordable, non-competitive event at heart, perfect for families and first-timers, while the certified course keeps the front-runners happy too. Devonport is the gateway for the Spirit of Tasmania ferry and an easy base for exploring the north-west, so it pairs nicely with a weekend away. Enter online via Race Roster ahead of the day.
