10K races near Queenscliff

The Hobsons Bay Half Marathon & 10K begins at Logan Reserve in Altona, located in Melbourne’s western suburbs. Participants can choose between two standard distances: a 21.1 km half marathon or a 10 km race. The course is designed for speed and comfort, featuring sealed surfaces, wide paths, and smooth terrain. The course runs along the Hobsons Bay foreshore, offering participants views of the waterfront instead of navigating city streets. Its flat profile is ideal for runners aiming for a fast time, and the 10K option combined with the smooth paths makes it accessible for recreational runners. This event marks the first Hobsons Bay Half Marathon & 10K.

Features include timed bibs, frequent aid stations, staged northbound lane closures, and a finisher's medal for all participants.
