Can I just pay for the event day, and not Your Way Any Day?
Can I register for Your Way Any Day and then decide to do the event later?

add remove

We only have limited spots for the Connor’s Run event day, so we suggest you purchase the Fun Run & Party ticket (which also gives you access to Your Way Any Day) so you don’t miss out! However we will also have an option to upgrade to the event day ticket when you’re logged into your account.

Do I have to pay for shipping, can I pick up my t-shirt?

add remove

Registration packs won’t be available for pickup, instead we will be delivering t-shirts and any merchandise ordered to the address you nominate. We use a company who handles all of the picking and packing and delivering of orders, that does come at a cost.

For September registrations* (from September 1st,12pm AEST) you will need to collect your rego kit. Shipping charges still apply, due to the logistical costs associated with late registration.

*Your Way Any Day registration packs will still be delivered.

When will I receive my t-shirt?

add remove

For everyone registered prior to August 18, you should receive your tee before from the last week of August until September 1. All registerations between August 18-August 31 we'll aim to get your tee to you in the first week on September. 

All September registrations (excluding Your Way Any Day registrations) will need to collect their t-shirts. 

Please collect it from Ferdinando Gardens, Hampton (our 18.8km start) from 10am -1pm on Saturday, 9th September, or from your start on Sunday 10th September.

How do I get home from the finish line?

add remove
You will need to find your way home from the finish party. 

If you're heading back to Hampton you can take the Sandringham line from Flinders Street Station. If you are going back to St Kilda you can take trams: 3a, 16, or 96.

Is there a bag drop?

add remove

Due to the wonderful, but large response to the event, we ask you to avoid using the bag drop if you can. It's best to bring as few things as possible so that you don't need to bring a bag to drop off. If you do, make sure the bag can be closed fully. We ask all walkers to carry their own bag and not check them in. Your bag will be transported to the finish line - available to collect after the run, on the grass area behind the rowing sheds.

We will look after them but we do not accept responsibility for lost or damaged goods left with the bag drop.

Hot tip: Organise to share a bag as a group!

Will I receive info about event day?

add remove

We will send out more details via email about the event closer to the event day. But you can see the course map, and learn more about the event here

You will also receive a participant handbook with your t-shirt at the start of September. We also have an online copy of the booklet HERE

What happens to my registration fee if the event is cancelled?

add remove
In the instance COVID-19 restrictions require the event to be cancelled, all registrations will be converted to Your Way, Any Day in September. All participants will still receive their 2023 Connor’s Run tee.
 
The $15 difference between the registration for Connor’s Run Your Way, Any Day and the Connor’s Run event, will automatically contribute towards our research, care and development projects, or to request a refund please contact info@connorsrun.com
 
 

FUNDRAISING
