Running Races in Victoria

6 distances, 420 races: that is the spread Verus has found in Victoria so far, from 151 races at other distances, 73 5Ks, 66 10Ks, 57 half marathons, 38 ultra marathons and 35 marathons. Whatever you are training for, there is likely a start line here for it.

Racing here runs more or less year round — there is something on in 12 months of the twelve, with November the busiest. That makes Victoria unusually easy to build a season around, because you are rarely more than a few weeks from a start line.

Terrain varies more than a single figure for Victoria suggests. Of the 8 races here that publish an elevation figure, Mt Bogong Conquestathon Half Marathon is the flattest at 16ft of climb and Razorback Run 62km Ultra the hilliest at 10,335ft — a difference large enough to change what a target time means.

On top of the races above, there are 127 parkruns in Victoria every Saturday morning, at no cost to enter — for most people here, that is where running actually started.

Every race links through to its own page with entry details, the course, elevation where the organiser publishes it, and a pace calculator. Spotted a race in Victoria that's missing? Suggest it and we'll research and add it.
