The signature event of the weekend, our 21km half Marathon is made up of 2 laps.  Starting on the grounds of Villa Maria Estate the course runs out and along the Coastal Walkway and tracks before returning back to Villa Maria Estate and a memorable finish line. This is a course for every runner’s must-do list!

10KM

​Our 10k run and walk is the perfect event for women looking at something a little more challenging but not overly long.  No time limits here and the views are spectacular.  Your start and finish is inside the stunning Villa Maria Estate where a post race wine and finishers medal awaits.

5KM

​Our 5k fun run and walk is the perfect event for women of all abilities and will highlight both the first and final finisher in the same empowering atmosphere.

COMMUNITY

Placement of the Woman logo on flags and signs and in social media posts is very important, but for Woman to stay ahead of its competition, Woman needs to inspire its community.  Inspiration is the bridge between the community and Woman.

Inspiration is made up of emotion and emotions are fuelled by connections.  Unite these connections together with an event and Woman will have power.  Power leads competitors to action.  More action more sales for Woman.
 
The emotion associated with an outdoors event is huge.  Partnering with the Women's Half Marathon at Villa Maria gives Woman the ability to form relationships with competitors.  Resulting in Woman being an inspirational leader making lifelong connections with consumers.
