Running fest offers views to try for

IF YOU’VE driven the Great Ocean Road, the scenic views are breathtaking and over the May 19-20 weekend, you’ll get the opportunity to run it.

The Great Ocean Road Running Festival (GORRF) is one of the most memorable runs you’ll ever complete offering up panoramic ocean views, Victorian sunny beach landscapes and a festival of music and entertainment all in one weekend.

Whether you’re wanting to challenge yourself with a long-distance run or prefer a gentle nature walk, the festival caters to all ages and fitness abilities with seven events to choose from and is fun for the whole family.

Serious runners can choose from the marathon or the ultra-marathon (60km from Lorne all the way to Apollo Bay).

With incredible views, this stunning course is unparalleled around the world and is loved by tourists and locals alike who get to experience the coastline sans traffic.

From May 19-20, the festival includes live music featuring a jam-packed line up of musical acts, wellness sessions featuring free yoga, and a kite festival for the kids (and the big kids at heart).

Attend on just the Saturday or the Sunday or stay the whole weekend in beachfront accommodation.

The GORRF has put together a range of awesome travel packages and a list of accommodation locations, so the work is already done for you.

This truly is Australia’s most stunning runs, winding along the Southern Ocean.

When else will you get to experience a Victorian tourist destination with zero crowds or congestion? You won’t experience a more iconic Australian event.

Grab your mates or the family and enjoy a memorable weekend away on May 19-20.
