Ever wanted to run laps of a Formula 1 circuit? The Run Prix lets you do exactly that. Held on the Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit in Melbourne, this fast, flat, spectator-friendly event is a favourite for runners chasing a sharp time, and in 2026 it's on Sunday 20 September.
The Albert Park circuit is smooth, closed and pancake-flat, which makes it a genuine PB hunting ground. The course is World Athletics certified across the 5km, 10km and Half Marathon, so your time is official and record-eligible, a rarity for a community event and a big drawcard for club runners and time-chasers.
Choose from the 5km, 10km or Half Marathon (21.1km), all run on the iconic GP circuit. Whether you're after a parkrun-plus blast or a flat half marathon to crack a goal time, the lap format means plenty of support and easy spectating for your crew.
Entries close at midnight on Wednesday 16 September 2026, so register via the official Run Prix site. Albert Park is just south of Melbourne's CBD and easy to reach by tram, with plenty of room around the lake for supporters to cheer you on lap after lap.
