Event overview
The Frankston Running Festival is a waterfront running event held at the Frankston Pier / Frankston Foreshore. It features multiple race distances:
- 15 km
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 1 km Kids Race
Every finisher receives a medal. Trophies or medals are awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place male and female in age categories for each distance: U15, U18, 18–34, 35–59, 60+, 70+. The kids race has no placings; all children receive medals and spot prizes.
Course and traffic
The course follows the Frankston Foreshore and Nepean Highway toward Eel Race Road, Carrum, then returns to the waterfront. Road management measures affect Nepean Highway northbound, including lane closures and a full northbound closure on part of the route. Southbound traffic will be subject to a reduced speed zone only. Access in and out of properties is to be maintained; some residents on Nepean Highway will have left-turn restrictions during closures.
Logistics and race services
Timing is recorded via competitor bibs. Bibs may be posted before the event and can also be collected at the start area. Water and 32GI sports drink are provided roughly every 2.5 km and at the finish. Public and portable toilets are available at the event site and along the course. First aid will be on site and patrolling the route. A clothing bag drop is provided but organisers are not responsible for valuables. Volunteers and marshalling roles are available with various rewards. Race rules prohibit dogs, bikes, prams, scooters, and rollerblades on the course.
