DO YOU TRAIN WITH FRIENDS OR A SOCIAL GROUP?

At any Race Hub Australia event, every entrant is eligible to win the big prize. We’re different from other races, in the fact that we award prizes based on overall improvement to individual and team personal bests.

To be eligible for the team prize, you must have a current personal best and enter a team of 4+ runners who have all joined Race Hub Australia’s Strava group.

For example, four members of Rachel’s Runners have entered Race Hub’s the Brighton 10km event. Prior to the event those four members had an average PB between them of 52 minutes and 30 seconds. At completion of the Race Hub event, they smashed their PB and now have an average PB of 50 minutes and 30 seconds. Therefore their average improvement within the team is 2 minutes (don’t worry, leave the maths with us).

Would you like to volunteer at the Brighton Running Festival?

We are always on the lookout for volunteers on race day to help out with course marshalling and registration. It’s a great way to experience the buzz of race day without having to tie up the laces. In addition to being amongst the energy of the race, Race Hub Australia are delighted to offer volunteers the following as a thank you for their help on the day:

Free entry to any future race
Free morning coffee
Post event breakfast with staff and volunteer
