About the race
The Frankston Running Festival takes place at the Frankston Waterfront and follows a return course along the Nepean Highway to Eel Race Road, Carrum, before looping back. The event includes multiple distances and a kids race, with all finishers receiving a commemorative finisher’s medal. The course uses a traffic-free section of the Nepean Highway and runs alongside Port Phillip Bay.
Race services and event facilities include:
- 15km distance
- 10km distance
- 5km distance
- 1km kids race, wave starts by age group, not timed
Each competitor receives a race bib with an integrated timing chip. Hydration is provided approximately every 2.5 km and at the finish, with toilets located at the event site and along the course. First aid will be on site and roving the course. A clothing bag drop is available in the event village; organisers do not accept responsibility for valuables left in bags. Bike parking is available at the event site; participants should bring their own lock.
Event rules note that no dogs, bikes, prams, scooters, or rollerblades are permitted on course. Participants must complete the full course including turnaround points to receive a result.
