Course Description

The Wodonga Running Festival uses a fully pathed, flat and fast course between Willow Park and Gateway Island, following the scenic paths beside the parkland. All distances are professionally chip timed by Multisport Australia. The Half Marathon has water stations at 2km, 4.3km, 6km, 8.9km, 12.3km, 14.6km, 16.5km and 19.2km, the 10km at 2km, 4.3km, 6.2km and 8.1km, and the 5km at 2km and 3km. The 2km Family Dash is aimed at getting youngsters involved, and an accompanying adult can run with their child for an extra $10. The paths are shared with other pedestrians, cyclists and dogs, so earphones are not recommended.

Getting There

The event village is only reachable by walking, cycling or car, as there is no public transport available on a Sunday morning. There is plenty of parking at Willow Park and around nearby residential areas. Bib collection opens at 7:00am, so allow time to arrive and collect your bib before the 8:00am Half Marathon start.
