Melbourne City Race Weekend 2021 Get Ready to Race Again! Discover Melbourne from a New Point of View Saturday April 17, 2021 – MCR Park Prologue – Cremorne Enter here! Sunday April 18, 2021 – Melbourne City Race, Port Melbourne Enter here! Entries are now open – get yours in before the closing date of Tuesday April 13, and be in the Prize Draw!! City Races are long distance events in sprint style – complex urban areas, short legs, lots of direction changes and route choice – but over 3-10 km. They feature colour maps at sprint scale, and Sportident/SI Air (SIAC) punching. Warm up with our Saturday afternoon Prologue on the quirky Cremorne map – full of street art, pocket parks, and nods to the industrial heritage of this inner eastern suburb. Explore the north bank of the Yarra with its many stairways and bridges. There are a number of public transport options including train and tram; parking at the arena is very limited so leave the car at home. On Sunday morning, the 2021 Melbourne City Race heads to the seaside! You’ll explore the best that Port Melbourne has to offer, including Beacon Cove, Station Pier, Bay Street and the famous South Melbourne Market. There’s a maze of irregular narrow streets and lanes, perfect for navigating! You’ll also enjoy an amazing array of architecture from quaint cottages and historic stone pubs, to multi million dollar apartments on palm tree lined boulevards. There are beautiful parks and gardens, and of course the foreshore, where you’ll taste the salty tang of fresh sea air! Take the Light Rail from the CBD (tram 109 from Collins Street near Southern Cross Station, to Graham Street, then a 5 min walk to the arena), or drive – there’s free parking within easy walking distance. There are any number of cafes and lunch venues a short distance away. Staying for the weekend? There is a full range of accommodation in the city and suburbs, with great transport links to both races. City Races have taken Europe by storm – now it’s Australia’s turn.
