Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Many events offer inclusive options like walking instead of running, different distance categories, or wheelchair-accessible routes. If you have specific accessibility needs, contact the event organisers to discuss what accommodations are available.

  1. 5K: A 5 kilometer (3.1 mile) race, often considered the shortest "serious" race distance.

  2. 10K: A 10 kilometer (6.2 mile) race, a popular distance for runners of all abilities.

  3. Half marathon: A 21.1 kilometer (13.1 mile) race, often considered a significant milestone for runners.

  4. Marathon: A 42.2 kilometer (26.2 mile) race, considered the ultimate test of endurance and stamina.

Participating in a running event requires proper training and preparation. It is highly recommended to consult a doctor before starting any training program, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition or have not exercised in a while. It is also important to have the appropriate gear, such as running shoes, and to stay hydrated and fueled during the race.

Many running events also serve as fundraisers for charitable organizations, giving participants the opportunity to contribute to a good cause while also challenging themselves physically.
