21.1km HALF MARATHON

Sunday 2 March 2025

Are you ready to go the distance in our 21.1km Half Marathon? Enjoy this scenic two loop course around Bendigo where you’ll run past Lake Weeroona, Ulumbarra Theatre, the Queen Elizabeth Oval and the Dai Gum San Chinese Precinct.

Starting and finishing in Rosalind Park, you’ll do a 1.1km loop at the start of the race before embarking on two laps of our picturesque 10km fun run route. The course is a mixture of smooth closed roads and sealed walking paths along the Bendigo Creek Trail.

Your friends and family will love it as there are plenty of opportunities to cheer you on throughout the morning.

Make your fun run count.
