About this race
Batman Avenue provides a significant start, with the route heading directly onto Flinders Street as the city awakens. You pass Federation Square and Flinders Street Station, then proceed onto St Kilda Road before the race finds its rhythm on "Melbourne's most beloved run track" around the Tan, the Shrine of Remembrance, and Government House.
The course is fast and flat, yet it includes enough recognizable turns to maintain engagement: Anderson Street, then "tree-lined Alexandra Avenue stretching out ahead," before returning along the Yarra. Adults and runners under 18 share the morning, with pace groups, drink stations, live timing, and the standard finish-line proof of effort awaiting after Birrarung Marr, Tanderrum Bridge, and the finish line within Melbourne Park.
