Event Details
Course Description
The Weston Park course winds through the leafy parkland of Yarralumla, using smooth, well‑maintained paved paths that circle the lake and glide past open lawns, mature trees and native gardens. Both the 2 km and 5 km routes are flat with gentle curves, offering clear sight‑lines and minimal elevation change – ideal for pacing and confidence building. Spectators can watch from the park’s picnic areas, and the evening setting adds a pleasant, low‑key vibe while the park lights illuminate the route. Expect a safe, traffic‑free environment that showcases Canberra’s natural beauty in a relaxed, community‑focused setting.
