About the race
The Anglesea Roo Run is a community running event held on 27 December 2026 around Point Roadknight and Anglesea coastal areas. The event uses the Anglesea Coastal Walk and adjacent beaches and includes separate courses for children, shorter runs and the main 8 km course that follows cliff-top paths, beach sections and riverbank trails.
Distances:
- 8 km Soulful Living Roo Run along Coastal Walk, beaches and riverbank.
- 4 km Anglesea Discovery Camp Roo Run using Coastal Walk and beach return.
- 1.6 km Anglesea Medical Centre Grommets Gallop for under 12s.
Course notes describe a start/finish at the Point Roadknight boat ramp and a route that runs south along the beach for about 200 m, then north along a walking path before joining the Coastal Walk behind the Anglesea Motor Yacht Club. The 8 km course includes cliff-top sections, a halfway drink station at the Anglesea Men’s Shed (Lions Park), a return via the main beach and a final approach down the Soapy Rocks path to the finish. Tide-dependent variations may route runners via Middles Beach and Soapy Rock.
Two drink stations and first aid staff are located on course, with first aid also at the finish near the Anglesea Motor Yacht Club. The event includes an all-abilities Janet Jones Classic and allows parent or support runners to accompany Grommets and Janet Jones participants.
