The Weston Creek HM course

This is what I sent to mum & dad just in case they feel like coming out for a look although watching me run backwards and forwards will be in competition with ABC Radio's Macca who will be broadcasting his show "Australia All Over" live from the Arboretum around the same time!

The broadcast is part of the Festival of the Forests, which also includes a couple of fun walks, being held at the Arboretum...

"The course starts at the end of Garryowen Drive on Black Mountain Peninsula. Runners will proceed along Garryowen Drive and turn left onto the shared path just before Lady Denman Drive. Runners then proceed along the shared path, (keeping to the left hand side) around West Basin and over Scrivener Dam before following shared paths past the ovals at Curtin, under McCulloch street and adjacent to Yarra Glen. The shared path then crosses under Melrose Drive and passes the Pitch n Putt in Woden. Shortly after runners turn and retrace their steps to Black Mountain Peninsula. Here they turn right onto the bike path near the rowing sheds and enter John Cardiff Close for the finish." from Weston Creek HM site
