Sri Chinmoy Yarra Trail: Half Marathon, 14km & 7km Run
A scenic, flat to undulating 7km loop course along the Yarra River
About the event
The race is staged from Loys Paddock Reserve in Burnley. The race starts and finishes at the staging venue on the Main Yarra Trail (Melway Ref 58H1).
The event is conducted on a scenic 7km circuit along the northern and recently refurbished southern banks of the Yarra River through Burnley and South Yarra, with our full runner services. You have a sense of running in the heart of the city while the river glides gently past you on both banks.
Access to Loys Paddock is via the bridge over the Monash Freeway at Gibdon Street and the Yarra Trail access road at the start of the CityLink on-ramp.
Please do not attempt to drive into the venue; all parking is in the adjacent streets of Burnley — see parking notes.
The 7km distance is for runners and walkers; the half marathon and 14km distances are for runners only.
