Black Mountain Run Up & Power Walk
Event location
Description
The Black Mountain Run Up & Power Walk will take place on Tuesday, 17 February 2026, as part of a monthly series held on the third Tuesday of each month.
This free 2.6 km event starts at the car park entrance on Clunies Ross Street, Acton, Canberra, and finishes at the summit of Black Mountain, with an elevation gain of 236 metres. The course begins with an 800-metre flat section along a 4WD trail adjacent to the Botanic Gardens fence. Participants then turn left onto Frith Road, following it uphill for approximately 400 metres before turning right onto the Summit Trail (marked by Centennial Trail signposts). About 100 metres after passing through the Canberra Nature Park gate, the trail veers left onto the final ascent. Near the summit, follow a right turn at the Centennial Trail sign for the last 150 metres to the finish line.
The event is organised by the Australian Mountain Running Association and includes a short briefing before the start at 12:45 pm. Participants are encouraged to arrive between 12:30 pm and 12:40 pm. Finish times are recorded at the summit, and photographs are typically taken at the start and finish, with results shared on the association’s Facebook page.
