Great Ocean Road Running Festival

The Great Ocean Road Running Festival, held along Victoria’s spectacular Great Ocean Road on Australia’s Southern Ocean, offers eight distances from 60km Ultra Marathon to 1.5km Kids’ Gallop. The course weaves along scenic coastal roads and trails between towns such as Apollo Bay, Lorne and Kennett River, with stretches free of traffic to heighten the wilderness feel and the sound of the ocean. The festival atmosphere goes beyond running, featuring experiences like glamping, yoga, live music and kite flying. The event emphasizes sustainability and community, with acknowledgement of the Gadubanud people and opportunities for runners of all abilities to participate.
