Event Details
Course Description
The Run Warrandyte course winds through the leafy suburb of Warrandyte, starting at the Sports Facility on Taroona Avenue. Runners follow a mixed‑terrain route that hugs the Yarra River, then dips into the lush Warrandyte State Park, offering both paved sections and gentle trails. The 21 km and 15 km routes feature a few rolling hills, while the shorter 10 km, 5 km and 2.2 km loops stay mostly flat and family‑friendly. Drink stations are placed on the longer courses, and all participants receive water at the finish line, making it a scenic yet manageable challenge for all abilities.
Getting There
The event is held at the Warrandyte Sports Facility on Taroona Avenue. Parking is available in two bays on Taroona Ave near the club rooms and kindergarten/tennis courts, plus a carpark on Everard Drive. After 7:30 am you can use the Stiggants Reserve carpark. No public transport runs in time for the start, so plan to arrive early and check the official website for the latest parking and access details.
Weather & What to Pack
February is summer in Victoria, with typical daytime highs of 22‑30 °C and occasional humidity. Expect sunny to partly cloudy skies and a chance of brief showers. Wear lightweight, breathable clothing, a hat and sunscreen, and stay well‑hydrated. Bring a water bottle for the drink stations and consider a light jacket for early‑morning start temperatures.
