About the race
The Frankston Running Festival is a community running event held on the Frankston foreshore with races that start and finish near the Frankston Pier. The event uses a return-course along Nepean Highway, reaching as far as Eel Race Road in Carrum, and is planned to run with road closures on sections of Nepean Highway northbound to provide a traffic-free running corridor.
The festival offers multiple race distances and a separate kids race:
- 15 km road race
- 10 km road race
- 5 km run/walk
- 1 km kids race
All finishers receive a commemorative finisher’s medal. Race categories include standard age divisions for the 5 km, 10 km and 15 km distances with trophies or medals for first, second and third male and female in each category. The kids race is not timed and all young participants receive medals and may have wave starts by age.
Event services include course water and 32GI sports drink approximately every 2.5 km, portable toilets and first aid on site and roving along the course. A clothing bag drop, bike parking and on-site merchandise collection are provided. Timing uses an integrated chip in the race bib and results are recorded via timing mats. Organisers note that no dogs, bikes, prams, scooters or rollerblades are permitted on course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
