Batman Avenue marks the start of a fast, flat run through the city center. Federation Square and Flinders Street Station appear early, followed by a sweep onto St Kilda Road. This run evokes a genuine big-city morning atmosphere, distinct from a secluded fun run, featuring prominent landmarks, broad streets, and a feeling of temporary ownership of the city by the participants. The phrase “One city. Yours for the morning.” captures this sentiment effectively.
Next, the course enters The Tan, described as “Melbourne’s most beloved run track.” It passes the Shrine of Remembrance, circles Government House, and returns via Anderson Street, with “tree-lined Alexandra Avenue extending ahead.” The final stretch follows the Yarra River to Birrarung Marr, crosses Tanderrum Bridge, and concludes within Melbourne Park. Participants will find adult and youth categories, pace groups, aid stations offering water and PURE Sports Hydration, and a course designed for consistent pacing rather than challenging inclines.
