Entry is managed online with tiered pricing that changes by date. Online entries close at midnight on Thursday 13 August 2026, and race entries may close earlier if field capacity is reached. Participants can choose race bib postage if they cannot attend check-in; the postage option and nickname printing have end-of-June cutoffs. Race packs are available for collection at check-in on Saturday 15 August at Forster Surf Club.
Timing chips are integrated into race bibs and record net times when runners cross the start and finish mats. All finishers receive a medal and downloadable finisher certificate. Trophies for first, second and third overall male and female are awarded in the marathon, half marathon, 10 km and 5 km based on net time. There are published cut-off times for each distance.
On race day a secure, contactless bag drop operates from the Forster Beach Precinct. Drink stations provide water and RunXPerform roughly every 2 km. Refunds are not given; entry transfers, upgrades and downgrades are available subject to deadlines and fees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
