With professionally managed and timed events, prizes for winners and medals for all participants, the Beachside Dash welcomes runners of all levels – whether you walk, jog or run. Every step helps support vital medical research in our local community.

Registrations open February 2026. We can’t wait to welcome runners, joggers, walkers, families, schools and supporters back for another unforgettable day by the bay.

Inaugural half marathon – coming soon – stay tuned for updates.

Zombie Run 10K & 5K

Saturday, 24th October 2026

Keep your Pace, or Lose your Race!

A fun Halloween, zombie-themed running event with a twist!

Instead of keeping up with the pacers, your job is to beat the zombie pacers.

Select the 5K or 10K time you want to beat, as this will determine your wave start time.

Keep your pace, or lose your race!

If you beat the zombie pacer, you will receive a one-of-a-kind SURVIVOR medal. If the zombie pacer for your wave finishes before you, you will receive a ZOMBIE/INFECTED medal.

This one-of-a-kind event is sure to attract many people, from runners chasing a PB to walkers and families just out for an hour of Halloween spooky fun!

This is a no-contact running event.

What you will receive from the event:

• Free event t-shirt for first 100 participants (base cotton, with tech shirt/tank upgrade available for only $20)

• FREE Pack of Zombie-themed Temporary Tattoos

• Zombie Pacers (timing intervals based on wave numbers) proudly supported by the Sydney Striders

• Flat, fast course - perfect for PBs!

• Zombie Themed Finishers Medal - Survivor or Infected Medal

• Dressing up is highly encouraged, the horde at the back (walking wave)

• Safe, professionally timed, and managed running event
