Event Details
Course Description
The Molonglo Loop winds through the native bush of Molonglo Forest, offering a mix of gentle undulating trails and flat sections. Runners and walkers will pass towering eucalyptus, open clearings and occasional creek crossings, providing both visual interest and mild technical challenges. The 4.3km route is a single loop, while the 7.4km option adds an extra out‑and‑back leg, giving a slightly longer forest immersion. Well‑marked and maintained, the course is suitable for a range of fitness levels, making it an ideal setting for a relaxed yet rewarding run/walk experience.
