The final stop of the 2026 Sunset Series arrives at The Tan on 4 March, giving runners and walkers a twilight session on Melbourne’s most legendary training circuit. The event offers 4 km and 8 km distances, both following the classic Tan loop of compacted gravel and smooth path, with the famous Anderson Street hill adding just the right amount of challenge. Views of the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Yarra River and the city skyline make the laps flow by, while the warm, social atmosphere captures the essence of Melbourne’s summer running culture. A lively event village with music, food and the relaxed Sunset Bar rounds out the evening, turning the finale into both a run and a celebration.
