Black Mountain Run Up & Power Walk
Event location
Description
The Black Mountain Run Up & Power Walk takes place on Tuesday, 14 October 2025, as part of a monthly series held on the third Tuesday of each month.
This free event features a challenging 2.6 km run or power walk starting from the car park entrance on Clunies Ross Street, Acton, Canberra, and finishing at the summit of Black Mountain. The course begins with a relatively flat 800-meter section along a 4WD trail beside the Botanic Gardens fence. Participants then turn left onto Frith Road, ascending approximately 400 meters uphill before turning right onto the Centennial Trail (clearly signposted). After passing through the Canberra Nature Park gate, the route turns left onto the Summit Trail, continuing to the highest point on a concrete section near the summit. A final right turn on the Centennial Trail leads to the finish line, approximately 150 meters away.
Participants gain approximately 236 meters in elevation, starting at 575 meters altitude and concluding at 811 meters. The event begins promptly at 12:45 pm, with a short briefing beforehand; arrival between 12:30 and 12:40 pm is recommended. Finish times are recorded by a timekeeper, and participants are asked to write their full names clearly on the finish recording pad.
The Black Mountain Run Up & Power Walk is organized by the Australian Mountain Running Association and offers a great opportunity for runners and walkers of all levels to enjoy a scenic and invigorating trail in Canberra.
