Event Details
Course Description
The Jogalong courses wind through the scenic grounds of Weston Park, a leafy riverside reserve in Yarralumla. Runners follow well‑maintained dirt tracks and shared bike paths that loop around the lake, under shady eucalypts and open grassy lawns. The 6 km handicap offers a gentle challenge, while the 3 km and 2 km mini‑jog provide shorter, family‑friendly loops. Expect a flat to rolling profile with a few gentle undulations, ideal for pacing and enjoying the park’s natural beauty. The mixed‑terrain surface offers good traction and a comfortable stride for all ability levels.
