Hobsons Bay Half Marathon and 10k

The Hobsons Bay Half Marathon and 10k makes its debut on Sunday 8 November 2026, bringing a brand-new race experience to Melbourne's western suburbs. Hosted at Logan Reserve, Altona, the event winds through the stunning Hobsons Bay foreshore, offering sweeping views of Port Phillip Bay on a flat, fast, fully sealed course.

Two distances are on offer:

• Half Marathon (21.1km)
• 10km

The course is designed for speed – wide paths and smooth terrain make it ideal for runners chasing a personal best, but the welcoming community atmosphere means first-timers and casual runners will feel right at home too.
 
Whether you're toeing the start line for the first time or targeting a PB, the Hobsons Bay Running Festival offers a scenic, well-organised event with genuine potential to become a Melbourne west staple.
