Sri Chinmoy Yarra Boulevard Half Marathon

The Sri Chinmoy Yarra Boulevard Half Marathon, 10km & 5km takes place on Sunday 13 September 2026 along the scenic Yarra Boulevard in Richmond, Melbourne – a fast, flat, fully traffic-free course following the gentle curves of the Yarra River.

Three distances are on offer, all starting from Kevin Bartlett Reserve:

• Half Marathon (21.1km): 8:00am start; 1.1km add-on loop plus 4 laps
• 10km: 8:10am start; 2 laps
• 5km: 8:10am start; 1 lap

A 2 hour 45 minute time limit applies. The course is accurately measured and marked every kilometre, with drink stations every 2.5km serving both water and electrolytes. Chip timing is provided by Tomato Timing.

Age group awards run from under 15 through to 80+. And the post-race highlight: a famous pancake breakfast waiting at the finish line.

Note that parking is not available on the Boulevard itself – all parking must be inside the venue. Roads close at 7:45am, so allow plenty of time. A course briefing takes place at 7:55am.
