Age Limits
There
are no age restriction on the events, but
remember that it's not a child-minding
facility. If your child needs supervision
then please enter and supervise them.
Bag Minding
For bags you
want to leave while you are running please
attach your tear-off baggage tag from your race
bib to them, and leave them in the bag minding
area in Pit Building 2 near the finish line.
Car Parking (see also R for
Road Closures)
Public transport
is recommended and the nearest tram / light rail
stations are on the number 96 route. How close can
you park? Crystal ball says that the
earlier you arrive, the closer you park. Remember that
the course is closed, so most car parking spaces
within the Albert Park precinct are not usable
on race day. Saturday
race number pickup parking: Cut-Off Times See S for Slower participants. (Most likely to affect slower Half Marathoners.)One on the northern edge of the course on Albert Rd Drive, near the Lakeside Drive corner. The other near the finish line. Runners can access both of these each lap, if they are in a multi-lap event. EMS, Endurance Medical Services
First Aid service is being used. No, but what we do have could
actually be better.
We use the RaceRoster registration
platform and have turned on the Promoter section
with a 10% promoter payment.
If you have a Race Roster profile
(you may already have one from entering Run Prix
or other events) you could be turning a buck off
this feature even prior to entering Run Prix.
Here’s an explainer link.
If you had 7 people enter the half
mara it would have more than covered your entry
to the Prix race.
Insurance.
Big Long
Run is covered for Public Liability
Insurance though Athletics Victoria and is
affiliated with AthsVic.
What that means for runners with AthsVic memberships, or those in affiliated recreational running groups who've paid their dues, is that you have access to personal accident insurance. We strongly encourage runners to get AthsVic recreational runner memberships. Otherwise you're just relying on Medicare, and/or your own health insurance which could leave you further out of pocket. Kids
There is under 18 pricing for the 10k and 5k. There are no age restriction on the events, but remember that it's not a child-minding facility. If your child needs supervision then please enter and supervise them. Measurement
Course
is measured and certified to AIMS standards.
Run a record on this course and it will count.
Officially measured and certified courses are
getting much, much rarer these days.
Medals
Merchandise
Available through the registration facility. Specifically here: https://raceroster.com/store/87285/listing Prams
Not in the 10k Prix
Race.Yes in the Main Races. Half Mara, 10k and 5k. BUT... You must turn up to your start time 5 minutes early, and will be sent off ahead of the field along with any wheelchair participants. Please be aware that if we have top wheelchair athletes they will be faster than runners on this course. You do not pay for any children you are pushing in the pram. Prize Money / Prizes Please Note: We used to run around trying to chase up all the podium people. It was kind of like herding cats. So now presentations are at fixed times. The cunning plan... If a place getter doesn't show up at presentations, another runner will be selected from the crowd to stand up on the dais and receive the missing runner's prizes. (Excluding the cheques available to the podium people.) Incentive to be there! Cheques will be mailed the Wednesday after the race to those podium people who wrote a post (not just a comment) of 60 words min about their Run Prix race, in the facebook group (not to our organization page, or their personal page, or some other place) and posted it by midnight Tuesday after the race. It helps if you put a photo of you racing in it too. The running public will love hearing from you under your own name. It helps the running public see this as a sport they can follow some identities in, not just participate in themselves. Posts made under spouses or others names / identities will not be eligible. 10km Prix Race
21.1km Race
5km Prizes
Please see S for Schedule, lower down for presentation times. Because the incentive to be at presentations on time is that your prizes will be reallocated to others if you aren't there. Qualification

Half Marathon entrants should be aware they need to be able to run/walk at 7:00 minutes per km or faster to avoid the 9:32am diversion from the F1 circuit.

If you need a higher res version, please email We only have a limited road closure permit, hence this restriction.  We use a disposable chip
system that is stuck to the back of your race
number. The system is very reliable, but
reliability is aided by wearing your race
number lower rather than higher, and by not
covering it with outer garments.
7 Portaloos are near the Carousel Restaurant, near the Half Marathon start. 2 Portaloos are located at the Albert Rd Dr Drink Station. Transfers of Entries. Transfers to
Another Distance / Event. (Deadline: 3pm

events. It'll cost $5-, plus any price
difference between the event you entered and
the current price of the event you're
changing to. Use the facility to do this. NOTE: Where the
price of the event you're changing to is
less it doesn't refund any difference in
price. In some cases you may be financially
better off to request a refund/withdrawal
and then re-enter in the shorter/cheaper
event. Transfers
to Another Entrant (Deadline:
3pm 21st Sept 2024) Use the facility to do this. Entries
to the 10k Prix Race are the only entries that
can't be transferred to another entrant due to
the qualification requirements and needing to
get data for all participants. Transfers
To The
Next
Year You
need to have
requested a
transfer, (and
paid any
accompanying
fee), to 2025 by
15th
September.
That means
asking for a
transfer to
2025, not just
inquiring about,
or 'wondering'
if it's
possible. If
entered in the
Prix Race 10km,
you'll still
need a fresh
qualifier for
the 2025 event.
Transfers to
next year are
free before
August. $15-
during August.
$25- during
September, up to
Sept 15th. No
transfers after
Sept 15th. Use
the Store Facility to pay the
Transfer-To-Next-Time
fee and we'll
sort the details
in the back end
of the system
and send you a
code to remove
the entry fee
for the 2025
event. If you're available,
we'd love to have you. Volunteers
receive a warm inner glow, a cap, or $25- off
other merchandise, and
can enter a subsequent Run Prix, or Two Bays
Trail Run without paying entry fees.
(Please ask for the super secret entry
code prior to
entering that subsequent event.)

through. Please be mindful of
them. Weather

access to any weather
forecasting data than the BOM.
It's a fast, flat
course without hairpin turns,

great course for wheelchair
athletes. Withdrawing For withdrawals prior to the run please email and also refer
