Berwick Waters and Berwick Springs Park provide a park-loop setting, with runners completing a flat course where spectators can see participants multiple times. The Berwick Half Marathon, Quarter Marathon & 5K celebrates its 5th Anniversary, emphasizing a "FUN, FRIENDLY & RELAXED" atmosphere over intense competition.
The participants are expected to be varied: beginners walking, regular runners seeking an enjoyable morning, and even Olympians participating in a fun event with the "awesome Melbourne Running Community." Children are included, with events for 7-13 year olds and Under 7s, making it an event suitable for racing hard, jogging with family, or cheering without feeling out of place.
