Course Description

The De Castella Run takes place on Kew Boulevard and surrounding streets, offering a classic road‑race experience through one of Melbourne’s leafy eastern suburbs. Runners will enjoy gentle undulations, tree‑lined avenues and views of the Yarra River corridor, with historic homes and parkland adding visual interest. The 5km route is a flat loop suitable for walkers, while the 10km and 15km distances add a few modest climbs that test endurance without being overly technical. Start and finish are on Kew Boulevard, providing easy access to amenities and post‑race refreshments.

Getting There

The race is held on Kew Boulevard in the suburb of Kew, Melbourne. For parking, public transport options and exact arrival recommendations, please visit the official event website. Arriving early is advised to allow time for registration and warm‑up.

Weather & What to Pack

Mid‑March in Victoria is autumn, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from 14 °C to 22 °C and cooler mornings. Light showers are possible, so a breathable, layered outfit and a light jacket are wise choices. Wear comfortable running shoes, apply sunscreen, and carry a small water bottle or use the on‑site hydration stations to stay hydrated.
