VMA 10K Road Race

Braeside Park hosts this straightforward road race, the VMA 10K Road Race, which ranks third in the Browne Shield "winter series." It feels more like a club calendar event than a large-scale public gathering, targeting "athletes aged 30 and over" seeking a timed competition. A practical road course winds through the park, attracting Masters runners. Non-affiliated athletes can participate by joining Victorian Masters Athletics. The unique aspect is its place within a five-event winter series, meaning participants are competing for points in what is described as a "prestigious event," not just casually running.
