The Lakes Entrance Running Festival is a brand-new event by Fit City Events, created in partnership with East Gippsland Shire Council to celebrate the stunning natural beauty and welcoming spirit of Victoria’s east coast. Taking place on 31 October & 1 November 2026, this two-day festival combines breathtaking running routes with a true seaside atmosphere — where every stride comes with a view.
From marathoners chasing their next challenge to families enjoying the 2km fun run, the event is designed to bring the community together and showcase everything that makes Lakes Entrance special — its beaches, its people, and its laid-back coastal charm. Whether you’re here to run, cheer, or simply soak in the salty air, the Lakes Entrance Running Festival is your invitation to make waves in East Gippsland.
