The Hobsons Bay Half Marathon and 10K will take place on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at Logan Reserve in Altona.

This timing places the race in the middle of the spring period when many local participants shift from regular weekly sessions toward longer-distance preparation. The event draws attention because it offers a measured course that fits both half-marathon and shorter 10K entrants at the same venue.

Weekly Sessions That Feed Into the November Target

Altona Beach parkrun operates every Saturday at 8:00 AM from Apex Park at the corner of Wilga Avenue and Queen Street. Runners register in advance and carry a printed barcode for official times, with the entire operation run by volunteers. After the 5 km finish, many head to Pier 71 at 71 Pier Street for coffee.

Altona Run Club adds a mid-week option through its Hopheads event, which starts at 6:15 PM on Wednesdays. The group covers a 3 to 3.5 km stretch along the beach before finishing with a free drink at Hopheads.

Practical Steps Ahead of Race Day

Participants can use the Saturday parkrun and Wednesday beach jogs to build consistency without needing additional paid programs. The November 8 date at Logan Reserve remains the clearest fixed point on the local running schedule for anyone planning a longer effort this year.

Registration details and course information for the Hobsons Bay Half Marathon and 10K are available through the event listing on keepactive.com.au. Runners who want timed results at parkrun should complete the free online registration before their first Saturday start.
