Event Details
Course Description
Runners will start on the football oval before joining a sealed, flat asphalt path that loops around the Seaford wetlands. The 200‑metre grass section at the start and finish adds a short, firm surface, but after heavy rain the adjoining grass can become wet and muddy, so participants are asked to stay on the paved track. The course is fully wheelchair‑ and pram‑friendly, with gentle grades and no steep climbs, making it ideal for families and walkers. Marshals will be positioned along the route to guide runners and keep the environment quiet during the early nesting season. Finishers receive a commemorative medal, and age‑group trophies are awarded for the 2 km, 5 km and 10 km races.
