About this event

The Casey Strides Series (Race #1) is the opening race in a multi-race running series held in October in the Casey area of Melbourne’s southeast. It offers a friendly, community-focused race day with options for runners, walkers and families, making it suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities.

The event includes a choice of 10km and 5km distances for runners and walkers, plus shorter junior events for children. It is staged on a fast, flat course at Casey Fields Regional Athletics Centre in Cranbourne East, and is designed to suit both casual participants and those chasing a strong time.

Race day typically begins with registration and pack collection before a safety briefing and staggered starts for the running and walking fields. The series format means Race #1 is the first chance each year to join the Casey Strides program, with additional races following later in the season.

With its broad range of distances, accessible format and local community atmosphere, Casey Strides Series (Race #1) is a good fit for anyone looking for a welcoming spring running event in Melbourne’s south-east.
