Sri Chinmoy Half-Marathon, 5 & 2 Miles
A traditional test of speed and endurance on a classic one-mile loop in a refreshing garden and lakeside setting...
About the event
The Canberra Sri Chinmoy Half-Marathon is held annually on a scenic one-mile loop in and around Lennox Gardens, and is joined by two classic 'imperial' distances now rarely held in Australia: a 5 Mile and a 2 Mile Race. The Sri Chinmoy Half-Marathon, 5 Mile and 2 Mile races will next be held on Sunday 16 August 2020.
The course is a certified one-mile loop on cycle path and road.
Race start for the Half-Marathon is 9 am.
The 2 Mile Race and 5 Mile Race commence at around 9.30 A.M. Both the 2 Mile and 5 Mile Races employ the same loop course as the Half-Marathon.
As this race is staged in Winter in Canberra, conditions are sometimes quite cold for the start, so bring your gloves and bini.
Distance
Half-Marathon (21.1km); 5 miles (8km); and 2 miles (3.2km)
