Frequently Asked Questions
How do I train for a 10K?
A 10K typically requires 8-12 weeks of consistent training. This is general guidance; personalize based on your fitness level. Run 3-4 times per week: include shorter runs (3-5km), one longer run building from 5km to 8-9km, and one tempo or speed session. Gradually increase your longest run each week by about 1km. Rest days prevent injury.
What's a good 10K pace?
10K paces depend on fitness level. These are general benchmarks. Beginners: 7-9 min/km (70-90 mins). Intermediate: 5-7 min/km (50-70 mins). Advanced: 4-5 min/km (40-50 mins). Your first 10K is about crossing the finish line, not the clock. Many runners walk portions—that's completely normal and acceptable.
How do I avoid injury while training for a 10K?
This is general injury-prevention guidance. Key strategies: increase mileage gradually (no more than 10% per week), include rest days, do dynamic warm-ups before runs, strength training 2x weekly (core and legs), and proper footwear. Listen to sharp pain—it's different from muscle soreness. If pain persists, rest and see a health professional.
Do I have to run the exact distance listed in the event?
Each event sets its own rules. Some allow you to run, walk, or jog the distance. Others accept modified distances or allow you to split the activity across multiple days. Check the event details for specific requirements.
How do I submit my running results?
Most virtual running events ask you to submit your results through their app or website. You'll typically need to share proof of your activity — such as a screenshot from Strava, a fitness app, or your watch. The event organisers will then verify and confirm your finish.
How does fundraising work in charity events?
Charity events typically ask participants to secure sponsorships (donations) from friends and family based on their participation or performance. You register, then share a fundraising link with your network. Funds go directly to the charity.
Do I have to fundraise to participate in a charity event?
Requirements vary by event. Some events ask participants to set a fundraising target, while others allow you to participate with just a registration fee. Check the event details to see what's expected.
How do I search for events in my area?
Use the search filters on this page to find events by sport type (running, cycling, walking), location (search by suburb or postcode), and date (this weekend, this month, or a custom range). Virtual events can be found by checking the Virtual & Online filter.
Is there a cost to register for events?
Most events have registration fees ranging from free to a few dollars. Some events offer free early-bird registration or family discounts. The registration cost is shown on each event's listing.
Will the event be cancelled if the weather is bad?
Physical events may be postponed or modified due to severe weather, but this is rare. Check your event's terms and conditions or contact the organisers directly for their weather policy. Most virtual events proceed regardless of weather since participants choose their own locations.
Are events accessible for people with different abilities?
Many events offer inclusive options like walking instead of running, different distance categories, or wheelchair-accessible routes. If you're getting started on your fitness journey, or if you have specific accessibility needs, contact the event organisers to discuss what accommodations are available.
What should I check before heading to an event for the first time?
Before your first event, visit the event page for specific details: start time, exact location, parking info, and public transport options. Arrive early to find parking or check transport timings. Check local transport websites (like PTV in Victoria, TripView in Sydney, etc.) for real-time updates on the day. Most events provide detailed logistics on their listing pages.
