Barwon Valley Park 15km Sealed 2026

The Barwon Valley Park 15km Sealed is a road race organized by the Geelong Cross Country Club, held at Barwon Valley Fun Park in Geelong, Victoria. The primary event is 15 km, with an additional 5 km option available. This race employs a sealed-handicap format and a mass start, meaning participants run together on the road, with handicaps applied separately for final standings and awards. The course begins and ends at Barwon Valley Fun Park, extending out and back to the Queens Park Rd Bridge. In the 15 km race, front markers begin earlier than other divisions, followed by subsequent 15 km groups, and the 5 km race commences shortly thereafter. Individuals not affiliated with the club may participate as invitation runners; they receive an official time but are ineligible for fastest-time or handicap prizes.
