Event Overview
Run Prix is a running event held at the Albert Park GP Circuit in Victoria, Australia, scheduled for 20 September 2026. The program includes a 5km, two 10km options (a Prix category and a main/open race), and a 21.1km half marathon. Starts are staggered from early morning, with race number pickup available the day prior and from 6am on event morning. The event is organised by Big Long Run Pty Ltd.
What the Course Demands
The event uses a multi-lap circuit format: the 5km is one loop, the 10km races are almost two laps, and the half marathon is four laps with a finish in pit lane. The organiser describes the course as fast and flat, and notes an AIMS-measured, certified course. For the half marathon, the road opening schedule effectively requires participants to hold about 7:00 min/km or quicker to remain on the main circuit.
Who This Event Suits Best
Run Prix suits runners targeting a measured course and predictable lap structure, including athletes who like repeated splits and straightforward execution. The 5km and 10km main/open races work for general entrants, while the 10km Prix race is aimed at runners who can document a sub-50-minute 10km within 12 months of race day. The half marathon best fits runners comfortable managing four laps and cut-off requirements.
