Maxs Infinity Loop

Maxs Infinity Loop is a multi-use running, walking and cycling track set in beautiful bushland encircling the summit of Hobart's Queens Domain.

The 2000 m track was designed with a soft-fall bark surface on one half to cushion the foot fall of runners and walkers. The other half is bitumen, providing a better surface for cyclists and people with prams.

Temporary track closure

A section of Maxs Infinity Loop will be closed to allow for the safe removal of trees hanging over the Cleary’s Gates Depot on the Queens Domain.

Work is scheduled to start on Tuesday 24 March and will be completed by Thursday 9 April.

To keep everyone safe, a section of Maxs Infinity Loop (see map) will be closed from 7 am and reopen at 5 pm on weekdays.

The track will remain open on weekends, including for ParkRun.

Why this work is important

The trees and their exposed roots are growing over a very steep cliff embankment and pose a serious safety risk to our people at Cleary’s Gates Depot.

There is an increasing risk of rockfalls and embankment erosion caused by these trees.

A specialist tree removal company has been hired to carry out the work. Many of the trees being removed are environmental weeds.

A 25‑tonne crane will be used to safely remove the trees.

The dual-surface track is the inspiration of local running enthusiasts and named in recognition of Maxwell George Cherry OAM.

Max was an Australian athletics and fitness coach based in Hobart who dedicated many years to athletics and the training and promotion of fitness, especially for young people.

The dual-surface track includes distance markers commencing from both ends and can be used from either the Crossroads or Grassland Gully. A section of gravel track joins each end of the dual-surface track, forming the loop.

The track was known as the Domain Joggers Loop before it was resurfaced in 2019.
