Frequently asked questions.

Registration
How do I register?+

Head to the Race Roster registration page and choose your distance.

Can I change my distance after registering?+

Yes, for a $10 transfer fee (plus any price difference if moving to a longer distance). Distance and person-to-person transfers are open via your Race Roster account up until 12:00pm Friday 30 October 2026. Requests after this time can't be accommodated.

How do I manage or transfer my registration?+

Log in at raceroster.com/signin to update your details or transfer your entry to another distance or another person.

Is there a minimum age?+

2km, 5km and 10km: no minimum age. Half Marathon: 12 years. Marathon: 16 years.

Race Day
What time do I need to arrive?+

Aim to arrive with plenty of time before your race start. Check-in closes 30 minutes prior to each race — after that we can't guarantee you'll make the start line.

Where and when is race check-in / bib collection?+

At the Lakes Entrance foreshore. Saturday 31 October: 1:00–6:00pm. Sunday 1 November: 5:15am until 30 minutes before your race. Check-in closes 30 minutes prior to each race.

Will there be water stations on course?+

Yes. Marathon, Half Marathon and 10km all have aid stations approximately every 4km. The 5km and 2km courses don't have aid stations — both are short enough to run without one.

What are the course cut-off times?+

Marathon: 7 hours. Half Marathon: 4 hours. 10km: 3 hours. 5km and 2km: 1 hour.

Do all races receive a medal?+

Yes! Every finisher across all five distances — Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km, 5km and 2km — receives a medal at the finish line. Something great to bring home.

Can I bring a pram or stroller?+

Prams and strollers are very welcome in the 5km and 2km events. For everyone's safety on course, we ask that prams aren't used in the 10km, Half Marathon or Marathon.

Getting There
Where do I park?+

Park legally along the Princes Highway and side streets.

Are roads closed for the race?+

Kalimna Jetty Road is closed for the event. Other roads nearby may have temporary closures on the day — follow event signage and volunteer directions on the morning.

Festival & Spectators
Is the festival free to attend?+

Yes — the finish-line festival on the foreshore is free and open to everyone, runners and spectators alike.

Volunteering & Vendors
How do I volunteer?+

Head to the volunteer page to see what's involved and join the VTeam — aid station and course marshal shifts earn race credits and merch.

Can I have a stall at the festival?+

Thanks for your interest! Vendor registrations for the Lakes Entrance Running Festival are handled through our vendor portal — head to vendors.fitcityevents.com.au to get started.
