The ASRWC presents the 2025 Summer Sunday Series.

What an excellent opportunity to get out on some of Alice Springs's favourite running spots. This is a great way to enjoy some company, get a PB or have a great time running or walking. This event is free for ASRWC volunteers and members :)

This year, there's free entry for anyone who volunteered at a 2025 event and members!!

We have both 2.5km and 5km options for each event. Prams and strollers are suitable for Sunday, 1 and 2, but 3 is a technical trail and not suitable for them. 

Sunday 1 - 30th November 6:30 am -River Run

On Sunday, 1, we are heading back to the River Run course!! Start/finish at the river footpath opposite YHA (near the River Activation Space). The course is a 2.5km loop around the Todd River.

The course is not pet-friendly due to the grated footbridge along the course.

Please arrive at least 15-30 minutes early for the race briefing and collect your bib if required!! 

Sunday 3 - 14th Dec  6:30 am - Arrwe Again

To finish the series off, we had to add a twist! Just jokes, no Trig hill this year!!

The race starts and finishes by the big river gum near the river bed at Telegraph Station. Let's hope this year we don't have a torrent of rain to contend with, as we did in 2023, and we can take on this route. To shake things up.. we'll go counter clockwise this year!! There will be a turnaround point for the 2.5km runners and walkers. The 5km Runners will continue on the course loop.
