Immerse yourself in the scenic beauty of Wagga as you take part in the Intersport Lake Run and Ride. This community-driven event invites runners, walkers, and cyclists to explore two distinct routes: a picturesque 5km circuit around the serene lake or an extended 10km loop that weaves through both lakeside trails and bustling city streets. The event begins with participants gathering at the edge of Wagga's tranquil lake, where they can enjoy the calm waters reflecting the morning light. As you set off on your chosen route, expect to encounter a mix of flat terrain around the water’s edge and gentle inclines as you venture into town. The 5km course offers an intimate experience with serene views and cool breezes from the lakefront paths. For those seeking more distance and variety, the 10km loop adds urban elements to your journey. This route takes participants through shaded streets lined with local shops and cafes before returning them back to the lakeside for a rewarding finish line view. Both courses are designed to showcase Wagga’s unique blend of natural beauty and community spirit. Join fellow enthusiasts in celebrating health, fitness, and the joy of movement at this inclusive event where every step or pedal counts towards making memories and connections within the vibrant local community. The Intersport Lake Run and Ride promises a day filled with scenic routes, friendly competition, and an appreciation for both natural landscapes and urban charm. Whether you're looking to enjoy a leisurely stroll around the lake or push your limits on the extended route, there's something here for every participant’s pace and preference.
