The Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Port Douglas 2km Run/Walk departs from in front of the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas. With palm trees all around it will be a magical destination to begin our 2km Run/Walk. This distance is perfect for families to come along and get involved with this wonderful new event for Port Douglas.

If you have entered the 21.1km Half Marathon, Pacific Toyota 10km or the 5km race and you want to join this race with your kids, you don’t need to enter this race as well. Simply keep your BIB number on and run with your kids. You won’t receive another medal but all your kids will receive their medal plus an Achievement Certificate from McDonald’s which includes a voucher for a Happy Meal!

We now have FREE shuttles out to the start line which will be departing from Garrett Street (next to the Splash Park). These will start from 9am. Bookings essential. Click HERE for more details.

The course will take you through the absolutely stunning grounds of the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort and down a ramp onto the sand at Four Mile Beach. What a spectacular location to finish your Run/Walk as you head down towards the finish arch for the final 1.5km’s. There will always be a stretch of hard packed sand to use so most prams should be able to travel along the sand.

All kids Under 18 years old will not only receive a medal, but they will also receive an Encouragement Award from McDonald’s, including a FREE Happy Meal!

Why not have some fun and dress up and you could WIN some awesome prizes:

Best Dressed Team of 4+ – Quicksilver double pass x 2 (valued at $1,352)
Best Dressed Individual – Silversonic Dive & Snorkel double pass (valued at $656)

Plus we’ll have a special prize for:

Most Entertaining Finish of the day – Wavedancer Low Isles Cruise double pass (valued at $553)

NOTE:  Prams are permitted – for safety reasons please start from the back of the field in all events.  Children within prams (under 4) are FREE (please see the registration desk when collecting your race pack to collect a race band).  If you would like the child to receive their own medal, please register them as a separate entrant. If you are already entered in an alternative distance and would like to accompany your child you do not need to enter again.  Please leave your bib on and run in the shorter distance.  You will only receive the time for the event you are entered in.
