Albert Park Lake was one of our much used courses up until about 10 years ago and was the previous location of our end-of-year Christmas run.

We have had many requests for inner city half marathons and this seemed like a logical choice, along with Como Landing, Princes Park and Yarra Boulevard, now giving four options at this popular distance.
