Whether you’re a seasoned campaigner, a weekend jogger, social walker or just starting out your running career, the Roo Run offers something for everyone.

Taking place on the clifftops and beaches of Anglesea at twilight, the Roo Run is one of the most scenic events on the Great Ocean Road.

From humble beginnings to a “bucket list” summer event, the Roo Run has grown each year.

With distances of 8kms and 4kms right down to a 1.6km Grommet Gallop and Starfish Nippers all abilities race, this event is suitable for all ages and abilities.

Run categories:
1.6 km Junior Grommet Gallop
1.6 km Janet Jones All Abilities Classic
4 km Friendly Jog
8 km Roo Run

For those wanting an extra challenge, there are also two additional categories:

2XRoo where you run the 4km and then follow up by running the 8km event

Surf & Turf which is the combined 8km Roo Run and the Rock to Ramp swim time

This a recreational run that is conducted by the Anglesea Motor Yacht Club and involves a number of community groups. It is a prelude to the annual Rock to Ramp swim (conducted by the Anglesea Surf Club).

The run takes place along the picturesque Surf Coast Walk, Anglesea Hinterland and also the magnificent beachers of Point Roadknight and Anglesea. The course varies slightly each year depending on the tides. If we have a low enough tide runners can return from the Anglesea Surf Club along the beach back to Point Roadknight.
