10 WEEK LUFT TRAINING PROGRAM

COME WALK THE LAUNCESTON URBAN FRINGE TRAIL!

You can’t beat a classic and this 10-week, 10km per session program is where the Launceston Urban Fringe Trail (LUFT) was born.

At 102km, the LUFT is Australia’s largest urban walking circuit, yet at the same time, you are never more than 14km from Launceston’s town clock. And, even born and bred locals are really surprised at the variety of walking environment we go through on this circuit around Greater Launceston.

Starting at the flat sections of the course and finishing with the hardest sections, you will walk yourself into fitness as you go along each week and walk through areas of Launceston that you didn’t know existed. What is there not to like!

To enable each session to run smoothly, participants are asked to consider volunteering to share with the car shuffling, so that cars are at the end point when each session finishes. This allows each session of the LUFT program to start where the previous week ended.

By the time 10 sessions are up, everyone has helped share the load and we’ve gotten to know each other (and their cars!) a little bit better.
