FREE SESSIONS EVERY SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY. JOIN AT ANY TIME.

SESSIONS CONTINUE UNTIL 9TH OCTOBER

The Nike Melbourne Marathon In-Person Training Series presented by Bupa is aimed at preparing runners in a group environment for either the Nike Melbourne Marathon or Nike Melbourne Half Marathon, under the guidance of our experienced Coaches and Run Leaders.  A graduated program will provide runners with a solid training base to be fully prepared to tackle their event on Sunday 13th October.

Sessions:

Commencing Sunday 21st July – Concluding Wednesday 9th October (Nike Melbourne Marathon Event staged on Sunday 13th October)

All sessions are free to attend.

The Sunday session is aimed at working on your endurance by gradually building the distance of the long run until a peak is reached four weeks from race day.  The Wednesday sessions supplement this with a medium distance run and quality session.

Parking: paid parking is available within the Albert Park precinct with a major car park adjacent to Lakeside Stadium.  Parking fees vary between weekdays and the weekend.  Free street parking is available in Canterbury Rd and the streets across Albert Rd from Lakeside Stadium with some having time limits.

A variety of distances and pace groups will be on offer, with each group having at least two Run Leaders guiding the way.  

Nike Melbourne Marathon – 2024 Training Series Schedule:

Our training routes will take in the paths and trails of inner Melbourne, including portions of the Marathon and Half Marathon courses to familiarise runners with what they’ll experience on race day.

Please note, spaces are limited.
