Green Point in Brighton gives this race a very runner-friendly setup: coastal air, a proper event village, and the "fast, fully closed roads of Beach Road" doing the heavy lifting. The feel is less glossy spectacle and more local race morning, with people chasing personal bests, ticking off first-time finishes, and supporting the Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation again in 2026. The course follows the breathtaking Bayside coastline, with AIMS-certified options and enough straight, closed-road rhythm to let you settle into pace. Expect KM markers, drink stations, on-course support, and a finish line with "roaring cheers," medals, and that particular tired pride of "smashing your goal." Race pack pickup runs through Carman's HQ in Huntingdale and the event village at Elsternwick Park, which gives the whole thing a practical, community-run feel.
