We know many of our participants love sharing Run4Geelong with their furry friends. As our event grows, we've made the difficult decision to remove RunPawGeelong from our event offering. As such, dogs won't be permitted at the event (with the exception of accredited service animals). As the event continues to grow, this approach helps us provide a safer and more enjoyable experience for all participants, volunteers and spectators.
During registration, choose or create your team from the list, or start a new one. Share your unique team link with members and supporters. Every registration through your link counts toward your Community Cup total.
Yes. Transfers to another person are available up until registrations close, and you can upgrade or downgrade your distance before the event (subject to availability), both via the Registration Transfers & Changes page. To change distances on event day, visit the Registration Tent as early as possible before your race; a fee may apply.
