Event Details
Course Description
The course starts at the tranquil Safety Beach, following the coastal promenade along Port Phillip Bay. Runners enjoy gentle sea breezes and views of the shoreline before turning inland onto the well‑maintained paths that lead to the historic Village Green in Rosebud. The route is flat, fully marked and features several refreshment stations, making it ideal for a relaxed yet rewarding run. Spectators line the waterfront, creating a festive community atmosphere throughout the 5‑kilometre distance.
Getting There
From Melbourne, take the M1 (Monash Freeway) south to the Frankston exit, then follow the signs to the Mornington Peninsula via the Mornington Peninsula Freeway (M11). Turn onto Main Road in Rosebud and follow signs to Safety Beach – parking is available at the beach car park (free) and at the Village Green (pay‑and‑display). Public buses run from Frankston to Rosebud; aim to arrive 30 minutes early to collect your bib.

Weather & What to Pack

Humidity is moderate, and UV levels can be high, so wear a hat, sunscreen and light, breathable clothing. Stay hydrated with water stations along the route and consider a light, moisture‑wicking shirt.
