24 JANUARY 2026 - THE RETURN TRIP COMMENCES! - CAN ALL OUR FRIENDSHIP BATON MATES GET IT BACK TO HOBART? Where will it travel to on the homeward bound journey? How many more kilometers? How many days? How many park runs? How many countries? Total friendship baton travel: 21,655km Montrose, SCOTLAND to Montrose TASMANIA: 80 days, 17,437km (plus excursions) to go
Welcome to Montrose Foreshore Park Run, located near Hobart in Tasmania, Australia. The aim of this event is to physically take this friendship baton from our friends at one park run to our friends at another, with the goal of getting the baton to Montrose Park Run in Scotland. Then return the baton to Montrose Foreshore Park Run in Tasmania. Hopefully by the most adventurous route possible.
At each waypoint, we would like you to take a photo at the park run where you have taken the baton. Send it here by using the web address or scanning the QR code on the baton and emailing this page with your photo(s) and we will post the adventures of our friendship baton. How many different park runs will the baton visit? How many countries will it visit? Let's hope the chain isn't broken and/or the baton gets lost.

EMAIL FROM: CHARLOTTE TAYLOR ON MONDAY 13 APRIL 2026 Good morning! I took the baton around the wonderful Henlow Bridge Lakes parkrun on Saturday where I was touristing, taking it from Run Director Joel Benjamin Davison, and am very excited to take it to my local parkrun Cassiobury parkrun this Saturday. What a fun adventure! I have included three photos below, sorry there's not a 'handing over' one but I'll try to get one on Saturday.
