Event location
Description
Organiser: Epic Events Management
The Burnie 10, Tasmania’s premier community running event, will be held on Sunday, 26 October 2025. This celebrated race features three distances: a 10km run, a 5km run, and an 800m kids’ dash, all starting and finishing in Burnie’s CBD.
The course offers a fast, out-and-back route along a dual-lane highway. Beginning just north of the Wilson and Cattley Street intersection, runners head south along Wilson Street to the Bass Highway. From there, the route proceeds east to the 2.5km and 5km turning points before returning along Bass Highway and Wilson Street to the start-finish line. The scenic course showcases the beautiful North West coast of Tasmania, providing an engaging experience for participants of all levels.
As Australia’s premier community running event, the Burnie 10 also hosts the Australian 10km Road Running Championships in 2025. Prize money is awarded equally to men and women, with notable bonuses for course records and milestone achievements. The event welcomes runners seeking personal bests, a vibrant community atmosphere, or a scenic running weekend.
