Yarra River Running Festival

The Yarra River Running Festival is a scenic riverside event held in Melbourne, showcasing some of the city’s most popular shared trails along the Yarra River. Hosted by Race Hub Australia, the festival offers a flat, fast and accessible course profile suitable for runners of all levels.

Participants can choose from multiple distances, typically including a half marathon (21.1km), 10km and 5km event, with options designed to accommodate competitive runners, casual participants and those building towards longer goals.

The courses follow paved paths of the Westerfolds Loop and a short gravel section alongside the Yarra, providing participants with a scenic run to challenge themselves with.
