Great Ocean Road Running Festival

The Great Ocean Road Running Festival returns on 19 and 20 May with the event offering one of the most spectacular marathons in the world.

The course stretches along the coastal towns from Lorne to Apollo Bay and runners of all distances can soak up some of Australia’s most scenic beaches and breathtaking views during the annual two-day running festival.

Over 7,500 participants of all ages and abilities are expected to choose to run or walk one of seven event distances ranging from the 1.5 kilometres Kids’ Gallop to the 60 kilometres Ultra Marathon.

Registration also gives participants free access to a range of activities across the weekend such as a kite festival, live music and yoga sessions so everyone can enjoy the festivities.
