About the event

The Cherry Lake 10.5km, 7km and 3.5km run is our annual end-of-year run. The course is a wide, flat recreational path around the wetlands and Cherry Lake in Altona, a quiet, traffic-free nature hide-away just 10 minutes drive down the freeway from the city centre. 

All races start from Cherry Lake Recreation Trail, Millers Road, Altona at 8.00am.

The event is conducted along a flat 3.5km loop course with full runner services. The 3.5km, 7.0km and 10.5km races complete 1, 2 or 3 laps of the course.
