Run Where the Lakes
Meet the Ocean

Marathon · Half Marathon · 10km · 5km · 2km — a coastal weekend of running, music and salty-air celebration on the Lakes Entrance foreshore.

Where the coast becomes your course

Shore to be a weekend to remember

Saturday: Golden Hour on the Foreshore

Kick things off with the 5km and 2km — short, sharp, and perfect for families, first-timers, and anyone chasing a golden-hour run along the water.

Sunday: Rise With the Sun

The Marathon, Half Marathon and 10km take over the coast — concrete paths, bitumen roads and a stretch of compact gravel, water views around almost every corner, and a finish line that celebrates every runner.

Pick your perfect challenge

Not every runner sails the same seas

Chase glory over the marathon, cruise through the half, find your flow in the 10km, or make a splash in the 5km and 2km. There's a course here that's shore to suit you.
