SUMMARY:2025 Weston Creek Half Marathon and 10km Fun Run
DESCRIPTION:Weston Creek Athletics Club (Canberra Redbacks) is proud to announce the 39th running of our iconic half marathon on Sunday 16th March 2025\, along with our 10 km community fun run. \n Register Now\nThe Race results portal for registrations opens on 1 October 2024. \nThe half marathon early bird entry fee is $50 and $30 for the 10 Km. These fees will apply up to midnight on 31 December 2024 when a second level of fees of $65 and $40 respectively kicks in until midnight on 28th February 2025. Then until online registrations close at midnight on Tuesday 11th March 2025 the late fees will be $85 and $50 respectively.  ACTMA members\, Canberra Runners members and Griffins running the half marathon are eligible to enter for a discount of $10 from 1 January 2025 until 28 February 2025\, i.e. no additional discount during the early bird and late fees time period. \nRelay teams of two or three runners in the half marathon pay a set fee of $80 per team\, regardless of when they register. The first runner will start with the rest of the individual runners but carry a baton with an electronic chip\, rather than an e-bib\, which they hand to the next runner at the changeover point. \nRace Information: \nDetails of the course can be found here. \nA formal presentation ceremony will be conducted after the event to present medals\, accompanying gift vouchers and many lucky draw prizes. \nGift vouchers and medals not collected on the day may be collected from the Runners Shop in Colbee Court\, Phillip\, at your convenience. \nThere is a time cut-off for completion of the event of 3 hours 30 minutes. \nCanberra Redback medals and Runners Shop gift vouchers will be awarded to the first three males and females of both the half marathon and 10km. The first male and first female in the half marathon will receive a keepsake trophy and have their names engraved on the perpetual trophy. Masters age group winners in both events will receive Runners Shop vouchers and a Canberra Redbacks medal. There will be an abundance of random pre-drawn barrel draws with gift vouchers\, wine or physiotherapy exercise aids as prizes. \nRace Bibs may be collected from the Runners Shop\, Colbee Court Phillip\, from 0900 on Thursday 13th March to 1700 Saturday 15th March\, or from 0700 before the race on Sunday morning at the race starting area near the main toilet block at Black Mountain Peninsula. Please allow sufficient time to collect your bib if you intend leaving bib collection to the Sunday morning. \nInjuries Policy: What happens if I have entered and suffer an injury during training which prevents my participation? Unlike most event organisers\, we offer four options if the injury occurs up to two weeks from the event start: \n\nTransfer you from the half marathon to the 10 km event\, if you can run that far.\nBe transferred to the 2026 event: or\nArrange a refund if the injury is debilitating.\n\nYou will need to email me at robbie.costmeyer@bigpond.com to arrange any of these options\, which must be exercised before 11th March 2025. \n\nThe Race Roster portal allows you to transfer your entry yourself to a fellow runner at any time before March 11th\, 2025.\n\nShould the event not be able to take place on 16th March for any reason then participants will be notified of a rescheduled date. \nRace Day: \nThe Half Marathon will start at 08:00 while the 10km will start at 08:15. The start line is at the main toilet block at the far end of Black Mountain Peninsula. Please ensure that you cross over the e-timing mat at the start of the race to ensure that you are timed. With some luck\, this event may again coincide with the Balloon Festival\, which would present some spectacular views along the course. \nClothing and other gear may be left under cover near the start line where the presentations will take place after the race. \nThe finish line is not the same as the start line!  The finish line is 100m past the rowing club shed. You must cross over the e-timing mat to record a time.  There will be limited snacks and water at the finish line.  The main feast will be in the presentation area near the toilet block. \nRelay Teams: The second and third Relay runners must find their own way to the changeover points. For teams of three\, the 7 and 14 km mark are at the same spot\, which is on the bike path going out just before the Cotter Road Bridge. For Relay teams of two the change-over point is at the event turn around point at 11.1 km. \nFurther details about the event will be emailed to entrants prior to the day. \nWelcome back past participants! Invite your friends to join you in the running of this iconic annual event. \n Register Now\nGo to top
