10k Prix Race. 7am Start. Almost 2 laps of the 5.x km circuit. Enter this race if you want a chance to win part of the $12,000- of prize money and can produce a qualifier of sub 45mins for women / sub 40 mins for men.
	You'll need to be able to cut and paste a link to your qualifier into your entry in the reg facility. Qualifying runs must be no older than 12 months before event day. The advantage of entering the Prix Race is an absolutely clear course and a fast field to help inspire your best performance. No, you don't have to enter the Prix Race even if you can run sub the qualification times. Feel free to enter the 10k main/open race if you want to run with a buddy, want to get up a little later, or like the slightly cheaper pricing of the main/open race. Prix race entries that don't have qualifiers, or links to their qualifiers by September 10th, will be transferred to the 10k main / open race. --
	21.1k Half Marathon Main / Open Race. 7:40am Start. Four laps of the circuit. Starts on the course. Finishes in pit lane.
	No qualifier needed, but bear in mind that the road closure / opening schedule is such that you'll need to be able to do 7:00 minutes per km pace or quicker in the half marathon. See S for Slow participants lower down. Half Mara entrants also need to be able to count to four and come in to pit row at the end of their fourth lap. Excellent opportunity for a personal best on the fastest, flattest, smoothest road run you'll find. --
	10k Main / Open Race. 7:55am Start. No qualifier needed. Yes, you can enter the main/open race, even if you could make the qualification standards for the Prix race.
	Almost 2 laps of the 5.x km circuit. Enjoy the fast, flat course of the Prix race, but a little later in the morning. --
	5k Main / Open Race. 8:30am Start. Run a single loop. Start in pit lane. Finish in pit lane.
	Produce the fastest road 5km result you've done. No qualifier needed. --

For bags you want to leave while you are running please pre-mark your items with your race-number and leave them in the bag minding area in Pit Row, near the finish line.

Public transport is recommended and the nearest tram / light rail stations are on the number 96 route.

How close can you park?  Crystal ball says that the earlier you arrive, the closer you park.

Remember that the course is closed, so most car parking spaces within the Albert Park precinct are not usable on race day.
Albert Rd on the north end of the course does have a fair bit of parking that isn't closed down and is free on week ends.
Canterbury Rd to the west of the course provides a fair bit of free parking and you can access the course via the underpasses that go under the light rail on the western side of Albert Park lake. Access from the Langridge St and Armstrong St underpasses is most direct.

Saturday race number pickup parking:
You could take the above advice... or drive straight to 13 Aughtie Drive / Pit Straight and park there. ($5.80 per day on Sat, at time of writing.) Race number pickup is in the ground floor of Pit Building 2. Right near the finish line.

Cut-Off Times

EMS, Endurance Medical Services First Aid service is being used.
Main base is at the finish line. Roving staff will also be out on course.

If you have questions, please email

Yes you can, but please remember it's a multi-loop course and faster participants will be coming through. Please be mindful of them.

We have no more access to any weather forecasting data than the BOM.

Wheelchair Athletes

It's a fast, flat course without hairpin turns, so we'd be guessing it's a great course for wheelchair athletes.
Having come out of organising trail races we'll admit to having limited experience with how to work with wheelchair athletes, but we're willing to adapt.
If you'd like to race a wheelchair, let us know so that we can best work with you, whether that be a start just slightly in front of a field, or what method is most ideal.
