About the race

The Lakes Entrance Running Festival is a coastal running event on the Lakes Entrance foreshore in Victoria held across 31 October and 1 November 2026. It includes a range of race distances and a finish-line festival with live music, food trucks and a pop-up brewery.

Races run along coastal paths and roads with water views, using concrete paths, bitumen roads and stretches of compact gravel. The event is organised by Fit City Events and takes place where the Gippsland Lakes meet the ocean. Volunteer aid station and course marshal roles are organised through a VTeam program; volunteers earn race credits, merchandise and status, and VTeam points can be applied to this event.

Entry pricing is published per race with a noted range from AUD 25 for the shortest race up to AUD 160 for the marathon. The weekend schedule groups shorter community races on the Saturday and longer distances on the Sunday, and a finish-line area features live bands and food vendors throughout the festival.
