Sri Chinmoy Centennial Park Half-Marathon, 7km & 4km cross-country runs, Monday 1 April 2024
During the pre-dawn set-up, a scant layer of mist hung coyly over McKay Sportsground, only nominally masking the brazen glory of the impending morning. There have been soggy, sodden races at Centennial Park, and others dry and thirsty: today was...
Sri Chinmoy Canberra Day 10km & 4km Fun-Runs, Monday 11 March, 2024
Monday saw our long-held Canberra Day race arrive once again, this time an hour earlier, starting at 7am. This happily coincided with the Canberra Balloon Spectacular, and the dawn sky was filled with colourful bulbous hot air balloons as the...
Sri Chinmoy Multi-Sport Classic, Jindabyne, 3 March 2024
Lizzy Bunckenburg is the new queen of Jindabyne. It might be said, that to come first out of a field of one in the solo women’s field, is not an astonishing achievement (though just to finish this race is demonstrably an incredible feat). But –...
Sri Chinmoy Lake Swims, Canberra, Sunday 18 February 2024
Calm waters and clear skies welcomed swimmers, helpers, supporters, swans and spectators at Yarralumla Swimming Beach for a revered Canberra tradition – the annual 5km, 2.5km and 500m Sri Chinmoy Lake Swims. ...

Sri Chinmoy National Capital Swim, Canberra, Sunday 3 December 2023
Thumbing through race reports from years of yore, the main challenge to the reporters seems to have been finding words to describe the horrible conditions, both in the water and on land for the helpers. Driving rain, shivering cold, howling wind,...
Sri Chinmoy Royal National Park Trail Marathon, Half-Marathon, 10km & 5km Runs, Sunday 19 November 2023
Due to works along the event route of Lady Carrington Drive, this race was forcibly postponed twice – from May, to July, and then to November. Though by accident, the first time this race has been staged outside of the Winter months, proved a happy...

“You’ve got to be in it, to win it.” The first prize along the way to the finish line, is the starting line! ...
Sri Chinmoy Mara-Fun Relays, Sunday 15 October 2023
Large sporting events with thousands of participants are memorable markers of our lives; each with their own character, history, culture and atmosphere. Yet smaller gatherings can have their own appeal: with charm, simplicity and humility which can...
Sri Chinmoy Labour Day 10km & 4km Fun-Runs, Monday 2 October 2023
Living in Canberra, we are spoiled. Sometimes it takes a runner visiting from out of town, or from overseas, to remark – “What amazing trails you have here!” or “How I wish we had such a lovely run around the lake in my town!” – to remind us how...
Sri Chinmoy Canberra Trail 100, Sunday 10 September 2023
There are so many layers, aspects, dimensions, tangents, flavours and nuances of an ultra-marathon that elevate this genre of human endeavour above and beyond the merely athletic, the merely scholastic, the merely artistic. The ultra-marathon is an...
Sri Chinmoy "Gungahlin Gallop" 31km, 10km & 2.2km Trail Runs, Sunday 16 July, 2023
The sense that it might turn out to be a special day today was confirmed during the set-up at Hall Showgrounds when, during a slight lifting of the fog, a “cloud bow” loomed over the field. Never seen one? Look it up – also known as a fogbow or ghost...
Sri Chinmoy Dolls Point Half-Marathon, 10km & 5km Runs, Sunday 9 July 2023
This time one year ago, we were attempting to process and describe the worst conditions any of us had ever experienced at a running event. By contrast, the 2023 Sri Chinmoy Dolls Point races served up an occasion devoid of extremities, a middle-of-the...
