23 EVENTS. ONE START TIME. ACROSS AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND.
Welcome to run4reef, a synchronised race event taking part across 21 cities in Australia & New Zealand.
Races will start simultaneously with a global leaderboard where you will not only compete against your local runners, but runners from across two continents. Register for your preferred distance with races at 1km, 5km, 10km, or the elite 10km race2zero.
Event Summary
And don’t forget we are announcing some fantastic musicians playing for your entertainment!
10% of your registration fee goes to our reef charity partners – the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, WWF Australia & WWF New Zealand.
5% of your registration fee goes to local charities.
The run4reef formula means that events are contained in a restricted area to minimize disruption and depending on the course width only a certain number of runners can participate. But the beauty is you can watch it all happening right in front of you.
Get in early.
As runners cross the timing mats on each lap they will be able to see their ranking across the 22 events.
One of the first 40,000 entries in all events across Australia and New Zealand will win a magnificent BYD Atto 3 electric vehicle valued at $50,000. What an amazing prize!
We will all be running as ONE. Sure it’s a race, but please remember your time only starts when you cross the starting mat and finally once you’ve finished all laps – across the finish ONETIME mat.
The run4reef 1km is for all boys and girls over 5 years of age and under 14 on the day of the event.
Parents may also enter the 1km to accompany their children in this event and start at the rear of the field. Parents will receive a timing tag and be eligible for entry into the prize draw for the BYD electric vehicle.
One of the best features of run4reef is that we are all running together. Cheers on your city’s best as they strive to become the first ever run4reef Champions. Cheer on your city’s best as they strive to become the first ever run4reef Champions.
race2zero Champions
race2zero entrants are competing to be host City Champions.
Urge them on – they are representing your City.
The male and female Champions at each event will each win a cash prize of $1,000 and the fastest Champions across all events will also win the Great Barrier Reef prize of 3 nights accommodation for 2 people at the run4reef Finale in May 2023 staying at the Sheraton Grand Resort, Port Douglas and touring the Great Barrier Reef including flights and transfers.
Our huge thanks to the run4reef musicians and bands.
What acts we have for you.
Musicians will be playing in a centralised location and broadcast across the various events via the big screens.
You can’t be late. We are all running as ONE.
However, your time only starts when you cross the start mat so please respect all participants and keep to the outside – let your City Champions through. They are racing.
Yes, we want as many of you as possible to be involved in this amazing simultaneous movement.
BUT please be advised if you have not finished your distance within the times provided below you will be asked to step off the course in readiness of the next event. As you can imagine all events across the 23 host cities must start on time.
Walkers will also be asked to start at the back of the field.
Event time allocations
- 1KM Warriors (6-14 y/o) – 15 minutes
- 5KM (All Abilities) – 40 minutes
- 10KM (All Abilities) – 70 minutes
- 10KM Race2Zero (Elite) – No walkers, sorry
Please use public transport, bring your water bottle, pack some snacks or support the local coffee shop and cafes, deposit any rubbish and of course return your timing tag to win the BYD. We really want to be a zero footprint event.
