Run for the Kids 14 March 2010

There are two courses to choose from:

14.6km course Event Start time is 9.00am
The long course incorporates all of the unique features that have made it a landmark event and gives participants access to normally off-limit roads. The race starts at Kings Domain in Alexandra Avenue, right next to the Alexandra Gardens, heads over Swan Street Bridge, into Batman Avenue and through the Domain Tunnel. Coming off Bolte Bridge with its million dollar views, runners travel back into the city via Dockland along Waterfront Promenade and New Quay Promenade, a new feature of the course. Runners then turn right onto Harbour Esplanade where Channel 7 staff will be waiting at a drink station with entertainment and a special give-away item. Runners then turn left into Collins Street, right Spencer Street and cross the river again, turn left into Yarra Promenade with Crown Entertainment Complex on one side and the Yarra on the other, then down St Kilda Road via Flinders Street, past the Arts Centre and finishing in Linlithgow Avenue.

5.2km course Event Start time is 8.45am
The short course starts in Alexandra Avenue, does a circuit of the Yarra River via Birrarung Marr and Federation Square, and then down St Kilda Road, along Birdwood Avenue and u-turns back to the finish in Linlithgow Avenue.
