23KM of Coastal Magic

One iconic road. One unforgettable finish line.

Take on one of Australia's most breathtaking running experiences as you follow the winding Great Ocean Road, with dramatic cliffs, rolling hills and sweeping ocean views accompanying you along the way.

The Great Ocean Road Half Marathon is a unique 23km road race, taking you from Kennett River towards the coastal town of Apollo Bay.

With its undulating terrain, incredible scenery and electric race-day atmosphere, this isn't your typical half marathon.

Everything you need to know before making your next good move.

Do I have to run at the same pace as everyone else?

Absolutely not! Good Moves Club celebrates runners of all paces and abilities. Whether you're chasing a PB or taking on your first trail race, this experience is about your own journey. You'll run your race at your pace, with a community cheering you on every step of the way.

Do many people come alone?

YES! In fact, most of our guests come solo! And that's one of the most beautiful parts of our retreats. You'll arrive surrounded by new faces and leave with genuine friendships, shared memories and a whole new community. Coming solo is encouraged, but if you'd love to bring a friend, we have a limited number of Bestie Bundle spots available at a special rate!

Do I need to have run a half marathon before?

Not at all! Whether you're preparing for your first long-distance event or you're an experienced runner, we'll help you feel supported in your preparation. We recommend having a consistent running foundation and being comfortable building towards the 23km distance.

What's included in the price? Are there payment plans?

Your retreat includes three nights of luxury accommodation, race entry, scheduled meals, wellness and recovery experiences, professional photography and videography, exclusive Good Moves merchandise and more! Transport to Lorne, lunches and travel insurance are not included.

Flexible payment plans are available to help spread the cost of your experience.
