Great Ocean Road Running Festival
18 - 19 May 2024
Set in one of Victoria’s most beautiful places to run or walk, the Great Ocean Road Running Festival is an incredible event you won't forget. Whether you take part in the marathon, half-marathon, ultra-marathon, the 14km or 6km run, the 10km or 5km walk, or the 1.5km Kids Gallop, you’ll be treated to stunning views of the Southern Ocean. This running festival takes place over a weekend and features events to suit all ages and fitness levels. Now that the Melbourne Marathon marathon event (42km) is sold out, if you're keen on a marathon, join us at the Great Ocean Road!
Run Melbourne
21 July 2024
Run Melbourne is one of the most popular charity fun runs of the year. Join over 20,000 walkers and runners on 5km, 10km or half-marathon courses that take you past some of Melbourne’s most famous landmarks. This is an epic event you won't want to miss. And we'll be there on the day, cheering you on, and joining in the challenge ourselves! If you raise $50 or more, we'll send you a Berry Street running singlet. Run Melbourne sold out in record time last year, so don't delay!
Berry Long Run
10 August 2024
The Berry Long is an ultra-marathon that takes place in the beautiful Lerderderg Forest west of Melbourne. The event has raised nearly $140,000 since it started in 2014, and every year new people join to test themselves and raise funds for Berry Street. In our tenth year, we’re encouraging people who have run marathons before and want to push themselves that little bit further.
