Event Details
Course Description
The race kicks off at Harold Stevens Athletic Track, a modern oval surrounded by tranquil bushland at the confluence of the Edgars and Merri Creeks. Sprinters blaze the 100 m straight on the synthetic surface, while the 5 km, 10 km and half‑marathon routes weave through the in‑field area and follow the scenic perimeter path that loops past the discus, shot‑put and javelin circles. Expect a flat, fast surface for the shorter distances and gentle undulations on the longer loops, offering both speed and a touch of nature. Spectators can watch from shaded tiered stands, making it an engaging day for athletes and supporters.
