About the race
The Frankston Running Festival is a bayside running event at the Frankston Waterfront with a return course that extends toward Keast Park and Seaford and follows a section of the Nepean Highway beside Port Phillip Bay. The event is scheduled for 15 November 2026 and is noted as the festival's fourth year.
The festival offers multiple distance options:
- 15 km
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 1 km kids race
All finishers receive a commemorative finisher medal. Race bibs include integrated timing chips and disposable timing mats record official results. Water and 32GI sports drink are provided approximately every 2.5 km and at the finish. Toilets and first aid services are available at the event site and along the course. A clothing bag drop is provided in the event village with a notice that organisers are not responsible for valuables.
Road management measures will affect northbound Nepean Highway traffic in staged closures, while southbound traffic will be subject only to a reduced speed zone. Access to properties via the Nepean Highway will be maintained and traffic controllers will assist residents and pedestrians. No dogs, bikes, prams, scooters, or rollerblades are permitted on the course. Age category awards are planned across the listed distances, and the kids race is untimed with medals for all participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
