FAQs
Q: How much training is needed for the 2km Family Run?
A: The 2km event is designed to be fun and inclusive for all ages. You don’t need a specific training plan, but a few practice walks or jogs in the weeks before the event will help kids and adults alike enjoy the day.
It’s stroller-friendly, and walking is absolutely welcome!
Q: How much training is needed for the 5km event?
A: Just getting started?
We’ve got a Zero to 5K Plan designed for complete beginners. It uses a walk/run approach to gradually build your fitness and confidence over 8 weeks. If you can walk for 30 minutes, you can follow this plan — no prior running experience needed.
A: Looking to improve or go faster?
If you’ve already run a 5K or two, and want to get quicker, we have a 5K PB Plan with three different levels — beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Whether you want to shave a few minutes off or go all-in on a new personal best, this plan will help you boost your speed, endurance, and running efficiency.
Q: How much training is needed for the 10km?
A: The 10km event suits runners with at least a few months of consistent training. You should be comfortable running 4–5km already.
With 8 weeks of structured training, including a mix of easy runs, longer efforts, speed sessions, hill reps and recovery days, you’ll be ready to run strong on race day.
Q: How much training is needed for the Half Marathon?
A: The half marathon is a solid challenge that requires consistent training. If you’re already running 8–10km regularly, you can prepare in 12–16 weeks.
To reduce the risk of injury and improve your experience, we have combined your running with mobility, strength, nutrition planning and recovery work.
Q: Are walkers allowed?
A: Absolutely! Walkers are welcome in the 2km and 5km events. For the 10km and half marathon, walkers should be mindful of cut-off times.
If you’re planning to walk the longer distances, check the event info to make sure there’s enough time to finish comfortably.
Q: Can I run with a pram or stroller?
A: Yes — prams and strollers are welcome in the 2km and 5km events. Just be sure to start towards the back of the pack and keep to the left to allow other runners to pass safely.
Q: Is there a cut-off time for the events?
A: Each event will have a cut-off time, but they’re generous enough to accommodate a wide range of paces.
Check the specific race page for time limits so you can plan accordingly.
Q: What should I wear on race day?
A: Comfortable running shoes and lightweight clothing suited to the weather. Don’t try anything new on race day — wear gear you’ve trained in.
If it’s sunny, a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are good additions.
What our members say
I found the half marathon plan very easy to follow, for both the strength and stability sections, as well as the weekly running plan. Following as closely as possible, I was able to increase my mileage safely, and really begin to enjoy running without fear of my calf blowing up. I also loved adding tempo runs and hill repeats in to my mileage. The joys of hills… Didn’t know I could enjoy them so much.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for your programming for my event back in February. I’ve never run 100 miles before and your programming made it really easy to make it to race day and trust in the process. I completed the race in just over 25 hours and I was really happy with it. Thanks again for all the tips and tricks.
