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?
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?
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?
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.
When do I get the merch I ordered?
Any merchandise ordered during registration will be included in your registration pack we deliver to you from late August.

Unfortunately, entry fees are not refundable if you are no longer able to participate, but you may be able to transfer your registration to someone else, just let us know so we can update our records.

Are kids under four years of age free?
Yes, children under four are free and most welcome to join in on the fun. Drop us an email info@connorsrun.com if you'd like to bring your kids along, as we do have some council restrictions on numbers.
How do I volunteer for the event?
Every year, we get hundreds of emails praising how incredibly awesome our volunteers are, and we couldn’t agree more! If you’d like to be part of the Connor’s Run A-Team, sign up to volunteer here. Plus, most positions need 2+ people, so register with friends and spend the day hanging out!

How do I get home from the finish line?
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?
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?

FUNDRAISING
How do I get people to sponsor me?
There’s a couple of quick ways you can kick off your fundraising:
- Personalise your fundraising page: By adding your personal story and an image, people are more likely to support you.
- Lead by example: By making a personal donation to your fundraising page you can set the tone for your supporters. It is a fantastic way to get yourself moving towards your goal and show your commitment.
- Ask! Send an email to your networks or share your fundraising page on social media. Simply spread the message of your fundraising – you’ll be surprised at who will support you when you ask.
Where can I obtain fundraising materials?
On the Fundraising page under resources, you’ll find a range of awesome assets. We have social media sharing tiles, calendars, posters and lots more!
If I start a Fundraiser on Facebook is it linked to my Connor's Run Fundraising page?
Unfortunately we aren't able to connect Facebook fundraisers with our Connor's Run fundraising accounts. We do have an option to share your fundraising page on Facecbook so your friends and family can easily find your page and donate to you directly.
