Great Ocean Road Running Festival

The Great Ocean Road Running Festival is held annually along Victoria’s iconic Great Ocean Road on the Southern Ocean in Australia, with starts in Apollo Bay, Lorne and Kennett River as athletes tackle eight distances from 60 km Ultra to 1.5 km Kids’ Gallop, taking place each May. Distances include the 60k Ultra, 44k Marathon, 23k Half, 14k Paradise Run, 6k Run, 12k Trail Run, and the 5/10k Great Ocean Road Walk. The course unfolds on traffic-free roads along the coastline, offering breathtaking ocean views.

Beyond running, the festival features a full program—glamping, yoga, live music, kite flying—delivering a lively, all-ages atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
