Note that spectators will have to use the monorail too, these tickets can be purchased separately in the registration portal.

Numbers are limited and this race always sells out fast so don’t delay or you risk missing out entirely.

We welcome young runners! Our 3KM fun run is open to participants aged 3 and up. For the longer 5KM and 10KM distances, runners must be 13 years or older on race day.

The 3km distance is a fun run! There will be no awards, just a chance for the kids to run and have some fun!
