The 2026 Autumn Blaze Fun Run invites participants of all paces to experience the beauty of Westleigh Village under crisp autumn skies. This annual event, set for November 15th, begins its journey at Eucalyptus Drive within the vibrant heart of Westleigh Village. As runners start their race, they will be greeted by familiar streets and stunning views of Berowra Valley Regional Park. The course offers a variety of distances to cater to diverse abilities: - Adults can choose from two 10K routes commencing at 8:00 AM with an entry fee of A$50. - Juniors aged between 14 and 16 will also begin their race at the same time but pay A$45 for a 10K run. - For those seeking something shorter, adults can participate in a 5K route starting ten minutes later at 8:10 AM with an entry fee of A$40. - Younger participants aged between 7 and 16 will start their race at 8:20 AM for the same distance but pay only A$30. The family-friendly 2K dash, suitable for all ages, begins from Westleigh Village Hall at 9:30 AM with an entry fee of A$25. Mild temperatures ranging between 12°C to 17°C on race day ensure comfortable conditions, while the UV index is typically low (around 2.0), making it ideal weather for outdoor activities. Runners will traverse firm yet slightly soft terrain through picturesque streets via closed roads. The route promises a scenic journey through Westleigh’s natural beauty and vibrant village life. ACE Events has established this race as an integral part of the community, with over 500 participants expected from various distances and age groups.
