On the day
We will be taking entries at the Run Melbourne Expo, presented by Running Fit (Thursday, 18 July - Saturday, 20 July) and on the day at the 'Number pick-up' marquee at Federation Square from 6:00am. If you are planning on entering on the day, please arrive early to avoid queues and ensure you have enough time to drop off your clothes and prepare before the event starts. Please note that late fees will apply.
Event costs
The Age Run Melbourne presented by People's Choice is an expensive event to stage. Without the support of its sponsors and volunteers it would not be possible to deliver the event.
No portion of the entry fee will be donated to charity. Entry fees are used to cover the cost of staging the event. Participants are encouraged to raise money for their preferred charity through the Everyday Hero program. Since 2008, over $4.7 million has been raised for more than 400 charities.
