Participants then travel alongside the Sculture walk into the homestead and farming area. The course then travels into the picturesque bushland of the River area. Crossing the river and entering the open plains at the rear of Werribee Park, along the wide concrete path behind the zoo and returning back alongside the Werribee Open Range Zoo, crossing back over the river and through the orchard. Up a flight of stairs and back through the sculpture park, through the mansion arch and back to the finish line.

Parents are more than welcome to run with their children if needed. We encourage parents to run with any child under 7 years of age. We ask that only 1 parent runs with each child. 

There will be many marshals on course, however we ask that you remind children that it is important that they remain on the track at all times and listen to the direction of marshals.
