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
THE FRIENDSHIP BATON IS ON THE MOVE! The friendship baton is back in the UK and in preparation for coming home to Montrose Foreshore! AMAZING!!! So many thanks to the many custodians it has had during the journey. Maps and distances will be updated soon.
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.
