Sunday Long Run

Where
Collingwood Athletics Track

When
Sunday 8:00am until you finish

What
Sunday we leave from the track as a group and explore the Yarra river trails and park land. The group naturally splits into smaller groups depending on pace. You can turn back at any point as the long run distance will vary but we look after anyone who doesn’t know the area. Distances also vary according to time of the year, if you can run 10ks that’s a good start, for the experienced runners training for a marathon the runs will be 30ks plus.
