Event Details
Course Description
The race takes place around Jerrabomberra Wetlands in Fyshwick, offering a mostly flat circuit that weaves alongside the wetland boardwalks and open grass‑covered paths. Runners will enjoy views of native waterbirds and the tranquil waterway, with a gentle mix of paved and compacted trail sections that keep the footing easy. The 2 km route is a short loop ideal for younger participants, while the 5 km extends the loop for a longer, still manageable, run. Both courses are well‑marked and finish near the main entry point, providing a friendly, community‑focused atmosphere.
