Event Overview

Jogalong and Mini Jog will be held on 8 March from 8:00am to 10:00am at Weston Park in Yarralumla. The program includes a 6km Jogalong, a 3km option, and a 2km Mini Jog, forming part of Canberra Runners’ regular monthly schedule. This March edition takes place on the second Sunday due to an event clash at the venue, with participation open to members and non-members.

What the Course Demands

The event is conducted on dirt tracks and bike paths within Weston Park. The 6km Jogalong and 2km Mini Jog are run under a handicap format, with start times staggered according to runner handicap. The park-based setting requires participants to be prepared for unsealed surfaces and shared-use paths rather than a closed road course.

Who This Event Suits Best

This event is best suited for women and girls looking for a friendly and supportive environment to engage in physical activity. It is ideal for beginners and seasoned participants alike, offering an opportunity for personal growth and community connection through shared experience.
