3km SHORT COURSE
Sunday 2 March 2025
Our NEW 3km short course is a great distance for older primary school students in grades 3 to 6. This is also perfect for people who might find the 5km distance too much, but would love to get involved in the day.
This distance mirrors the school cross country distance and provides a stepping stone between the 1km and 5km events.
The course leaves the beautiful, shady Rosalind Park and will head along Farmers Lane and onto a closed Bridge Street. After taking a U-Turn you’ll pass by the Dai Gum San Chinese precinct.
You’ll return to Rosalind Park via the northern end to the applause of family, friends and spectators.
Many beautiful sights, plenty of shade, good quality hard surfaces and a few pleasant surprises await all walkers and runners.
Make your fun run count.
