VRR Tan Time Trial: November 2026

The VRR Tan Time Trial is a monthly run in Melbourne, held at the Pillars of Wisdom near Swan Street Bridge in the Royal Botanic Gardens. It utilizes the Tan Track, a 4km circuit favored by local runners, offering a one-lap 4km or a two-lap 8km choice. The format is straightforward: complete the measured course, record your time, and view the results online. The course proceeds clockwise around the gardens on a predominantly sealed path featuring mild inclines instead of flat terrain. It winds through shaded areas beneath mature trees, open garden sections, botanical displays, and the Ornamental Lake. Victorian Road Runners welcomes members, visitors, regular club participants, and anyone seeking a consistent method to gauge their fitness on the same route each month.
