Event Details
Course Description
Both distances start on the wide, sealed pathways of Logan Reserve, winding along the Hobsons Bay foreshore. The course is completely flat with smooth asphalt, offering uninterrupted views of the water and parkland. Drink stations are placed roughly every 2.5 km, and the route is wheelchair‑ and pram‑friendly throughout. Runners will cross the finish line back at the reserve’s main marquee, where medals and personalised certificates await. With a generous cut‑off of 10:45 AM for the half marathon, the event provides a supportive atmosphere for first‑timers, seasoned athletes, and anyone looking to set a new personal best. The loop finishes near the beach access, allowing participants to enjoy a refreshing sea breeze as they complete the race.

For detailed directions, public transport options and recommended arrival times, visit the official event website.
