Event Details
Course Description
The race begins at the main toilet block on the far end of Black Mountain Peninsula, looping around the park's paved pathways and quiet roads. Runners enjoy sweeping views of Lake Burley Griffin, native bushland and, when the Balloon Festival is on, colourful balloons drifting overhead. The half‑marathon covers just over 21 km with gentle undulations, while the 10 km fun run offers a flatter, family‑friendly circuit. Both courses finish back at the start/finish arena, where timing mats ensure accurate results. The route is well‑marked, mostly on sealed surfaces, making it accessible yet rewarding for all ability levels.
Getting There
The race starts at the main toilet block on Black Mountain Peninsula in Canberra. For parking options, public transport routes and detailed directions, please refer to the official event website. Arriving early to collect your timing mat and store gear is recommended.
