Where Frankston Running Festival 10K starts and finishes
Frankston Running Festival 10K starts at Frankston Foreshore, Frankston Pier, Frankston, VIC. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.
Full Frankston Running Festival 10K Route Breakdown
The Frankston Running Festival starts and finishes at the Frankston Foreshore, right by the iconic Frankston Pier. All distances follow an out‑and‑back route along the northbound lane of the Nepean Highway, giving runners a traffic‑free stretch with views of Port Phillip Bay. The 15km route turns around just past Keast Park in Seaford, the 10km at Chapman Lane near Seaford Pier, and the 5km at Gould Street. After the turnaround, athletes re‑enter the Bay Trail at the Gould St/Nepean Hwy intersection, following the scenic Kananook Creek path back to the finish. The 1km Kids Race stays entirely on the Bay Trail. The course is flat, well‑marked and supported by water stations every 2.5km.

Training Strategy for Frankston Running Festival 10K
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 10K, whether it's your first or you're chasing a PB. Consistency and a weekly speed or threshold session matter more here than sheer mileage.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Frankston Foreshore, Frankston Pier, Frankston, VIC fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
10K Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.
Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.
No on-course fuel is needed at this distance for most runners — water stations are the usual provision.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
