VICTORIA’S FAVOURITE FUN RUN - Supporting the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal
We look forward to welcoming everyone to our St Patrick’s Day event on Sunday, March 17, 2024
LONG COURSE - 14.4KM
We look forward to welcoming entrants back to our unique long course route, for the once-a-year opportunity to run or walk over the Bolte Bridge and through the Domain Tunnel.
For the first time in the event’s histroy, the Long course route in 2024 will be nearly identical to the Long course route in 2023, creating a perfect opportunity for a new R4K PB.
The startline will be located in Footscray Road. Entrants will marshal in Harbour Esplanade in their correct colour zone, and will move to the startline under the direction of the official starter.
To ensure we are providing the safest possible environment for entrants, residents and local business, the final course is subject to change.
The long course route in 2024 will be 14.4 km.
SHORT COURSE - 4.7KM
We are delighted that with the support of Transurban, we are once again able to include the Bolte Bridge in the Short Course route.
Entrants will marshal in their start zones in Harbour Esplanade, and be moved into position near the start gantry under the directions of the official starter.
The finish line will be located adjacent to Docklands Park on Collins Street, which will provide space and a garden location to relax after completing your event.
If you prefer water views, Victoria Harbour will be just a short walk away, but please take care when crossing Bourke Street.
To ensure we are providing the safest possible environment for entrants, residents and local business, the final course is subject to change.
