Docklands Dash on the 2010 sports agenda

Next year’s Super Sunset Series of fun runs is coming to Docklands.

On Wednesday, March 10, up to 1000 athletes will wind their way around a picturesque 4km Docklands course.

Participants will walk/run along the waters edge, through Victoria Harbour, Harbour Esplanade and NewQuay.

Hosted by the Melbourne City Sports, the Super Sunset Series is a number of twilight fun run/walks held around inner-city Melbourne. This series there are four venues that offer unique four and eight kilometre courses – through Princes Park,
the Tan Track within Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne Zoo and Docklands.

The event encourages participants of all ages and ability to enter. Adult, Junior, Family and Team Entries are available for participation in a single event or for the entire series.
