RACE 1 EVENT PROGRAM: The event program for Yarra Bend is essential reading for all event attendees and covers details like event schedule, course descriptions, car parking and more. READ IT HERE.
The trails beside our beautiful Yarra River are once again the starting point for the 2022 Trail Running Series and we’re looking forward to exploring this beautiful ‘inner-city’ wilderness, restriction-free! It’s an oasis in an urban desert… come on, try it!
You’ll weave along the flowing, non-technical trails beside the Yarra River in these popular and accessible courses – a great way to connect to the trail running community and get outdoors in the winter.
WHERE: End of Deep Rock Rd. Yarra Bend Park, Fairfield
