10K Course Information
Starting on Batman Avenue, you’ll run Flinders Street as the city comes alive — past Federation Square and the iconic Flinders Street Station before sweeping onto St Kilda Road.
Then comes the Tan. Melbourne’s most beloved run track unfolds before you — past the Shrine of Remembrance, around Government House, and back via Anderson Street with the tree-lined Alexandra Avenue stretching out ahead.
The final stretch brings you home along the Yarra into Birrarung Marr, over Tanderrum Bridge, and across the finish line inside Melbourne Park.
10km. One city. Yours for the morning.
