Hospitality Review - February 2022

EVENT FEATURE: RUN THE BRIDGE.

Tasmania’s largest fun run is approaching as quick as Usain Bolt running downhill. The 13th edition of the Think Big Run The Bridge will unfold in Hobart on Sunday February 27 and we’re thrilled to be working with the THA and Clubs Tasmania. If the challenging past two years has taught us anything, it’s that we need to collaborate as much as possible, so it makes sense for an event that that finishes on the Hobart Waterfront, makes people thirsty and hungry, partners with the hospitality association. On event morning, the city of Hobart will be alive with people out to run fast, reach the finish, or just conquer the bridge in a team. The beauty of fun runs is that everyone has their own goal. While the pointy end will be star packed with 10 Olympians set to line up for the richest 10km road race in Australia, there will also be around 70 teams involved. The Clubs Tasmania teams component is critical to the ongoing success of the event, as it brings sporting clubs, community groups, workplaces,

schools, gyms, friends and families together for a safe, inclusive and healthy activity. With 67 per cent of Tasmanian’s overweight or obese, it’s important for communities to have events such as the Think Big Run The Bridge to inspire and motivate people to lead a fit and active lifestyle. Tasmania is fortunate to have great natural areas to be active and we have a terrific line up of community events across the state to participate in. Multiple distances are on offer, including the • Spectran Group 10km • Epic 5km Run • Positive Salary Packaging 5k Walk • Liv-eat 1km We also pride ourselves on innovation, having been the first mass participation event in the world to offer participants Tassie made timber medals, the experience of running under a LED digital finish line and the unique ‘battle of the sexes’ in the elite component. Now in 2022, finishers will receive the first ever NFT finisher medals.
