Canberra Runners Winter Series: The Runners Shop

The Canberra Runners Winter Series is a Saturday event held in Canberra, organized by The Runners Shop and appearing on the Capital Athletics calendar. It offers runners winter racing outside of the stadium, featuring cross country at Stromlo Forest Park and a road race on Menindee Drive. Stromlo Forest Park hosts the cross-country portion of the series, while Menindee Drive provides a straightforward road-racing alternative. The structure is straightforward: local runners receive a winter schedule that alternates between grass-and-trail running and road racing, rather than remaining within an athletics stadium.
