WHEN ARE THE EVENTS HELD?

In Melbourne, events are held every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night.  You can start any time between 6.30pm and 7.00pm.  For runners there are four courses to choose from, varying from approx 3 to 10 km.   You must return to the Finish no later than 8.15pm.  For Power Walkers, you have 65 minutes, or until 8.05pm, to complete your course; after that, you will lose points for each minute or part minute over that time. If you return after 8.15pm, your result will appear as DNF.

Regional events are held in Geelong, Surfside, and Mornington Peninsula.  Check the Coming Events list to see start and finish times.
