This Melbourne bayside road race takes place around late August, offering 42.2K, 21.1K, 10K, and 5K distances, suitable for marathoners, half marathoners, shorter-distance runners, and first-timers. The course follows the bayside coastline through the Brighton area, with related course listings indicating routes through Brighton, Hampton, and Sandringham. It is flat and fast, attracting many runners aiming for personal bests, and the longer routes are AIMS-certified. Sole Motive organizes the event, aid stations are positioned along the course, finishers receive a medal, and the race supports the Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation.
