A trail running race at Hassans Walls Reserve had been on the minds of runners over the years as they explored the ridges on the Hassans Walls escarpments above Lithgow. Blue Mountains Fitness proudly got the first trail run race on Hassans Walls in 2022. We have had the awesome 2023 and 2024 editions and we now have the 2025 Lithgow Ridgy-Didge Trail Festival ready to rock!

We have multiple distance options to choose from - 5km, 10km, 22km, 30km, Marathon and the totally awesome 50km. There will be the fun 1km Kids race for those under 12. The 50km and Marathon take on the thirteen ridges of Hassans Walls 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 - perfect training run 6 weeks out from Ultra Trail Australia. You’ll run past many lookouts that give spectacular views of the Lithgow, Hartley, Megalong and Kanimbla Valleys. All finishers will receive the awesome Ridgy-Didge medal.
