Due to unprecedented demand, the Nike Melbourne Marathon, Nike Half Marathon, and SriLankan Airlines 10km events at the 2025 Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival have sold out faster than ever before. To help manage this demand fairly, we introduced a ballot system – and while the final ballot is now closed, there’s still a chance to get involved.

That’s where the waitlist comes in.

By joining the waitlist below, you’ll be the first to hear about any remaining pathways to entry, including:
 Our official transfer window (1–15 August) for the Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10km
 Any additional spots that may become available via charities or partners

All transfers must be completed securely via the ACTIVE platform. This is the only official and valid method – entries transferred through private sales or third parties will not be accepted at bib collection.

Join the waitlist to stay in the loop and be ready to take your place on the start line.
