Event Details
Course Description
The race begins at the Belmont Park Pavilion and follows a loop through Barwon Valley Park, returning to the same finish line. Both the half marathon and the 5 km share a flat, sealed surface that hugs the riverbanks and parkland, offering unobstructed views of the Barwon River and native foliage. The course is well‑marked, with gentle undulations and no technical sections, making it ideal for personal bests or a relaxed run. Aid stations are positioned at regular intervals, and the route finishes back at the pavilion where post‑race refreshments await.
