MS Melbourne Run and Ride Festival

Take the challenge of the MS Melbourne Run + Ride Festival (formerly the MS Melbourne Cycle + Half Marathon) and make a difference in the lives of over 25,000 Aussies living with multiple sclerosis.

Starting at the prestigious Flemington Racecourse, choose from either the 50km or 30km bike courses and ride over the West Gate Bridge (normally closed to riders), take in the spectacular views of Melbourne, before finishing back at the Flemington Racecourse Event Village. The 2.5km closed course Family Ride is scheduled for later in the morning, so parents and guardians returning from their longer rides can be part of the action with their little ones.

For those running there is a distance to suit everyone. Choose from the 21.1km (half marathon), 10km or 5km courses, and run the iconic Flemington Racecourse, finishing under the famous rose arbour.

All events start and finish at Flemington Racecourse and have staggered start times.
