Full Lakes Entrance Running Festival 2km Fun Run Route Breakdown
All races start at the Lakes Entrance Foreshore, following a flat, paved route that hugs the shoreline of the Gippsland coast. Runners enjoy uninterrupted ocean views, gentle sea breezes and a mostly straight course that loops back to the finish line near the beach promenade. The marathon and half marathon cover two laps of the coastal circuit, while the 10km, 5km and 2km routes are single‑lap variations that showcase the town’s promenade, marina and nearby parklands. The terrain is road‑type, well‑marked and suitable for fast times, with occasional gentle undulations near the dunes.

Training Strategy for Lakes Entrance Running Festival 2km Fun Run
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 1.24-mile race. Combine a weekly long run with threshold work so you can hold pace over the full distance.
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 Lakes Entrance Foreshore, Lakes Entrance, 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.
1.24-Mile 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.
