Coburg Harriers Lake Classic

Harold Stevens Athletic Track serves as the starting point for the Coburg Harriers Lake Classic. The race heads out from the track and follows Merri Creek, offering a different feel than a typical big-city road race. This annual event is a fun run and walk with a club atmosphere, where runners might pin their numbers alongside regulars, walkers, and participants trying their first event. The course is an out-and-back route along Merri Creek, allowing participants to anticipate the return leg. Seasoned runners, casual walkers, club members, and non-members share the same morning. Afterward, the event offers morning tea and a relaxed atmosphere, providing an opportunity to connect with others without feeling rushed.
