About this event
Join the Victorian Road Runners for their monthly Tan Time Trial on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at the Pillars of Wisdom in Melbourne, VIC. Choose between a challenging 4km or 8km distance (one or two laps) along this iconic scenic course.
Starting at 7:30 AM, runners begin together and race as fast as they can on Melbourne's renowned Tan Track, circling the Royal Botanic Gardens by the Yarra River—just minutes from the CBD. The sealed path offers fast conditions amid picturesque lawns, lakes, and native plantings, with gentle undulations and a couple of moderate inclines for added challenge. Open to all runners, members and visitors alike, with results posted online to track your progress.
