The University of Tasmania Burnie Ten is Australia’s premier 10km road race and provides an opportunity to participate with the nation’s elite, attracting thousands of competitors including a 5km race and the Paraquad Tasmanian Elite Wheelchair 10km Road Race.
The University of Tasmania Burnie Ten is usually conducted on the third Sunday of October each year in Burnie, Tasmania.
While elite runners provide the glamour, the Burnie Ten has not wavered from its original intent to present a challenge for the whole community: whether walking, jogging or running.
The race starts and finishes in Burnie’s main shopping centre, promoting the vibrancy of the town, with an out-and-back course to Wivenhoe.
