Kedron Running Festival

Shaw Park in Wavell Heights hosts a first-ever race day centered on the Kedron Brook Cycleway. The event leans towards a neighborhood running festival rather than a competitive road race, welcoming families with a dedicated Family Dash for children. It offers the practical aspects runners appreciate: an accessible location, ample space for spectators, and a course suitable for achieving personal bests or simply enjoying the surroundings. The course is described as flat and fast along the Kedron Brook Cycleway, suggesting a steady pace rather than unexpected challenges. Participants can expect to settle into a rhythm and focus on their effort towards the finish. Volunteers contribute to the event's character, assisting participants on the course and at registration. Those who finish will receive a Kedron-themed medal, refreshments, sponsor gifts, and an online certificate, ensuring a pleasant post-race experience for all.
