Countdown to event
Where the coastline meets the course, the Lakes Entrance Running Festival brings a brand-new destination event to one of Victoria’s most iconic seaside towns. Spread across an epic weekend of running, music, and coastal energy, this festival blends fast, scenic courses with the relaxed holiday vibe that Lakes Entrance is famous for.
Kick things off on Saturday afternoon with the 5km and 2km events — short, sharp, and perfect for families, first-timers, and anyone looking for a golden hour run along the foreshore. Then rise with the sun on Sunday morning as the Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10km events take over the coast. Expect stretches of road and off-road running, water views around almost every corner, and a finish line atmosphere that celebrates every runner.
Whether you're chasing a PB, ticking off a bucket-list destination, or making it a weekend escape with family and friends, Lakes Entrance delivers a race experience like no other.
A brand-new run. A coastal backdrop. A festival to remember.
