Event Details
Course Description
The Molonglo Reach (East Basin) course follows a gentle loop along the banks of the Molonglo River, offering open water views and shaded native‑bush sections. The 3 km route is a single out‑and‑back on well‑maintained paths, while the 6 km option adds an extra loop that introduces a modest undulation near the river’s bend. Both distances are clearly marked and provide a flat‑to‑rolling profile suitable for runners and walkers of all abilities. Spectators can watch from the river trail, and the early‑morning start ensures a peaceful atmosphere before the park fills with activity. Refreshments are available at the start area, and volunteers will be on hand to guide participants through each loop.
