Princes Park Urban Trail Run
Cancelled2.5k – 5k – 10k – 21k – 42k – 50k – 100k – 6hr – 12hr
Princes Park 2023 has been cancelled.
The event cannot proceed in its usual format due to insurmountable conditions in the permit requirements.
Princes Park is only a short tram ride from the centre of the Melbourne business district. It is a 2km long narrow stretch of parkland catering for a wide range of sports, including cricket, tennis and lawn bowls, and is home to the Carlton Football and Cricket Club.
This is a great run for family, supporters and spectators, with a 2.5km loop you have plenty of opportunity to encourage and cheer your runner. And what a great place to play while you’re waiting!
PLEASE READ THE BRIEF CAREFULLY IF YOU ARE A COMPETITOR.
