Event Overview
The Harcourts Burnie 321-GO Kids’ Race is a children’s running event held on Sunday, 15 November 2026 at West Park Oval in Burnie, Tasmania. Now in its 27th year, it was created as a safe, age-appropriate alternative for kids alongside the Burnie Ten weekend. Distances are set by age category, ranging from an All Abilities 200m through to 3km for the 13 & Under group, with a separate lap for very young children.
What the Course Demands
With short, age-based distances from 200m to 3km, the main challenge is controlled pacing and maintaining form while running in a busy, family-focused event environment. Starts can feel fast, particularly for the older categories, so settling quickly is important. As details like layout and elevation are not specified in the official information provided, athletes and parents should be prepared for a simple, venue-based course format.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits children aged roughly 4 to 13 looking for a structured, insurance-covered race experience over a distance matched to their age group. It also accommodates participants in the All Abilities category, and includes a lap option for very young children accompanied by a parent. It’s appropriate for first-time racers as well as kids who already enjoy regular junior running events.
