Sri Chinmoy Yarra Boulevard Half Marathon, 10km & 5km
This event uses a scenic 5 km closed road circuit along Yarra Boulevard in Richmond, following the curves of the Yarra River. The races cover three distances: a half marathon (21.1 km), a 10 km and a 5 km. The half marathon includes a short 1.1 km add-on plus four laps of the 5 km circuit; the 10 km and 5 km are two and one laps respectively.
The course is AA measured and traffic free, with kilometre markers and drink stations every 2.5 km supplying water and electrolyte. Chip timing with live online results is used and net time is applied to determine placings. Competitors have 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete the course. A full course briefing is provided before the races.
Event services include first aid by St Johns Ambulance, toilets at the start and finish area at Kevin Bartlett Reserve, and a post-race pancake breakfast. Race numbers are collected on race morning at the venue. Parking is available inside Kevin Bartlett Reserve; parking on Yarra Boulevard is not permitted to keep the road clear for runners.
Age group awards are presented from U15 to 80 plus with medals for first, second and third in male and female categories. Concession discounts apply for U19 and 60 plus entries and online registration is available until shortly before each event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
