One squad. One course. A long run with a purpose.

Sunday 11 October is the Nike Melbourne Marathon, and we have squad members racing. So this week we are moving the long run off the Fairfield trails and onto the marathon course. Meet at the St Kilda foreshore and run your programmed long run alongside the course, so you can cheer our athletes through, soak up the atmosphere and still get your kilometres done.

Run your own prescribed distance and pace on the foreshore and Bay Trail paths beside the course. In between, get loud. Seeing the squad on course is worth more than you think to someone at the 32 km mark.

Session Details:
Meet at the St Kilda foreshore, Jacka Boulevard, from 7.00 am. Run your session, then stay as long as you like and cheer the field through.

Important Notes:

• This week only. The Fairfield Long Run is not running on Sunday 11 October. It is back on Sunday 18 October, which is the last one down there for the year.
• Major road closures apply across the city, St Kilda Road and the foreshore. Check the official road closure list before you travel and allow extra time.
• Park well back from the course and walk in. Do not plan to drive across the course on the morning.
• Bring your programmed session, your fluid and nutrition, and something warm for standing around.
• Open to all current Tri Alliance members across every training group.
• Athletes are responsible for all personal belongings during the session.
