Event Overview
Jogalong and Mini Jog are held at Weston Park in Yarralumla on 5 April from 8:00am to 10:00am, as part of Canberra Runners’ regular monthly program. The event features a 6km handicap Jogalong for women and girls, a 3km option for women and girls and boys aged 12 and under, and a 2km Mini Jog handicap for children aged 12 and under. Both runs take place on dirt tracks and bike paths within the park, 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. With 6km, 3km and 2km options and handicap formats for the 6km and Mini Jog, runners start according to handicap times. The off-road park setting means participants should be prepared for unsealed surfaces and shared-path sections rather than a closed road course.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits women and girls looking for a regular, low-barrier run in Canberra, including those returning to running or building consistency. The 6km handicap format can work well for athletes who prefer competition based on pacing rather than pure speed. The 3km and 2km options are appropriate for juniors, with the 3km also open to boys aged 12 and under.
