Frankston Running Festival
The event takes place on 15 November 2026 at the Frankston Waterfront, near the Frankston Pier. All races start and finish at this location.
Participants can enter one of four race distances: a 15km run, a 10km fun run, a 5km fun run, and a 1km kids race.
A warm-up and race briefing is held 15 minutes before each start time. The kids race has wave starts, with one wave for children aged 7+ and another for those aged 6 and under starting 10 minutes later. Parents may run alongside younger children without needing to register.
Every participant receives a finisher's medal upon crossing the finish line. Awards are given to the first, second, and third place male and female finishers in multiple age categories for the 5km, 10km, and 15km distances.
Course and Facilities
The course follows the Frankston Foreshore, starting at the pier and heading along Nepean Highway towards Carrum before looping back. The event is held on closed roads. Aid stations with water and sports drink are located approximately every 2.5km and at the finish line. Toilets are available at the event site and at two points along the course.
A clothing bag drop area is provided. Bike parking is available on-site, though participants must bring their own lock. Parking for vehicles is available around the start/finish area.
