About this event
Connor’s Run is a Melbourne fun run and community event held in September, bringing participants together for a scenic fundraiser along the Yarra River and through the city. The 2026 Melbourne event is scheduled for Sunday 13 September, with the main 3 km course beginning and ending at Peppercorn Lawn in Alexandra Gardens, followed by a finish-party atmosphere in the heart of the city.
There are also longer route options available for participants who want a bigger challenge, including courses that begin in Hampton and St Kilda before finishing in Melbourne’s CBD. Entry options include a full event day experience as well as a month-long “Your Way Any Day” format, allowing people to take part anywhere during September.
The event is designed to be accessible to a wide range of ages and abilities, with family-friendly participation and a strong social focus. It combines physical activity, community spirit and fundraising in support of a meaningful cause, making it a popular spring event for walkers, runners and supporters alike.
