The Berwick Half Marathon covering 21.1km along with 10km, 5km, Kids Mile and Junior Jog events is scheduled for Sunday 9 August 2026 at Berwick Springs Park in Berwick.

Event Structure and Course

The flat 5.25km circuit supports multiple laps and straightforward spectator access along the route. This layout distinguishes the event as the City of Casey's sole half-marathon option and allows participants to select distances suited to their experience levels without complex terrain changes.

Weekly Training Options

Berwick Springs Parkrun operates as a free weekly 5km community run every Saturday at 8:00am from Berwick Springs Promenade in Narre Warren South and welcomes runners of all standards. Wilson Botanic Parkrun provides a second free weekly 5km option every Saturday at 8:00am from 668 Princes Highway in Berwick and is run entirely by volunteers. These regular sessions supply consistent local opportunities to build fitness ahead of longer events.

Additional Local Activity

Berwick Fitness Factory presented DEKA fitness tests at the Berwick Show on 28 February 2026 at Berwick Showgrounds. With that date now passed relative to mid-July 2026 the focus for participants shifts toward the August half marathon and ongoing Saturday parkruns as the primary active outlets.

Registration details and course maps for the half marathon remain available through the event listings on the listed running calendars. Runners seeking to enter can review the verified event pages for entry requirements and start times. Those already using the Saturday parkruns can continue those sessions to maintain form without additional cost or travel.
