Johnsonville Road Race

Takes place entirely on footpaths around a 1.6km circuit, with no road crossings. Runners complete five laps for 8km and walkers complete four for 6.4km.

First held in 1985, the Olympic club rooms at Alex Moore Park, Bannister Avenue, Johnsonville host the pre and post-race proceedings.
