Event Details
Course Description
The Telopea Park course winds through the leafy precinct of Telopea Park East, offering a mix of well‑maintained dirt trails and natural grass paths. Runners start near the park’s main entrance and follow a loop that hugs the lake, passes under shady eucalypt canopies, and climbs gentle undulations before returning to the finish line. The 2km distance is a compact loop ideal for kids and first‑time racers, while the 4km adds an extra lap, giving a slightly longer taste of the park’s varied terrain. Expect soft footing, pleasant spring scenery and a relaxed evening atmosphere that encourages participants of all ages to enjoy the run.

The race is held at Telopea Park, Telopea Park East, Kingston, ACT 2600.

Arriving at least 15 minutes before the 6:15 pm start is recommended to collect your bib and warm up.
