Registration

Yes, after you complete your registration, click ‘Add Another Registrant’ to register additional participants. All registrations must be paid for in a single transaction.

If you’re already registered in a start wave, you may switch to a later wave without needing to change your race bib. Simply start in the later wave you wish to participate in.

Unfortunately, there are no refunds or transfers for this event, as it is a charity event supporting the local community. Once an entry is accepted, we cannot provide a refund if you choose to withdraw or are unable to attend.

Credit: In certain circumstances, such as medical issues, you may apply to use your entry fee as a credit for the following year. To qualify for a credit, we will require a letter from a medical professional.

The organisers of the Beach2Beach event reserve the right to cancel the event at any time if dangerous conditions or force majeure circumstances arise. In the event of cancellation, entry fees will not be refunded unless otherwise determined at the organiser’s discretion.

If the event is postponed due to unforeseen circumstances, an alternate date will be provided, and your registration fee will be held as credit for that event.

A decision will be made as soon as possible, and participants will be notified via email, SMS (where applicable), and through the Beach2Beach website and social media channels.

For our Half Marathon we have 3 start waves, a self-seeded first start wave for runners that can complete the course in under 1 hour and 45 minutes and 2 waves for avid runners and leisure runners.

The Half Marathon is restricted to age 16 and over. Dogs and prams are not allowed in the Half Marathon, but are welcome in any of the other course options.

Cut-off time at 7km mark; 50 minutes after your start. Due to road closures, the cut-off time for the first 7 km is strictly 50 minutes after your start. After the 7km mark in Dee Why you can run in a slower pace if you like.

Charities & Fundraising

When you join the Beach2Beach Charity Fun Run & Festival (proudly run by the Rotary Club of Warringah), your registration fee and any additional donations directly support a variety of worthy local organizations.

Each year, we carefully select charitable community organizations to benefit from this event for the vital services they provide and their commitment to making Beach2Beach a success.

Through the Grassrootz fundraising platform, you can create a personalised fundraising page whether as an individual or with a team. During the B2B registration process, you’ll be prompted to select your preferred charity, or you can set up a fundraising page later.
