HOW DO I GET MY RACE NUMBER?
Entrants who use our online entry system or by post will have their race numbers returned to the address indicated on their entry.
The first issue of race numbers should commence being sent from our office during the first week of August.
Please allow a 5-7 working day turn around period.
In-person entrants will receive their race number from the office at the time of registering. In-person entrants registering before the first week of August will have their race numbers sent to them.
Teams registering in-person may be asked to come back and collect their race numbers or they can be sent out.
Entries received online after 5th September will need to collect their race numbers from the City-Bay Fun Run Office, check our site for office hours

DO I PAY FOR MY CHILDREN?
All children, except those in a pram, who walk or run in the event must complete an official entry, parents must sign the participant's declaration, and pay the appropriate fee.
Children in prams can accompany an adult without completing an entry form or incurring an entry fee - they are not officially entered in the event, and will not receive a race number or a time.
Children are not able to ride bikes or scooters, wear skates, etc.
DO CARERS HAVE TO PAY?
Complimentary entry will be provided to carers for wheelchair entrants. The carer will need to complete an official entry and will receive an official race number but they will not be timed. Any carer who wants to officially enter the fun run and be timed can do so, however, they will have to pay the appropriate entry fee.
WHAT IF I WANT TO GET DRESSED UP?
There are prizes for 'best fun dressed-up individuals and groups'. Individual winners receive a $100 voucher and each member of the best 'fun dressed-up group' will receive a $50 voucher. Parade and presentation are at the Colley Reserve stage at 11.00am.
If you or your group will be incorporating additional objects in your 'theme' such as wheel barrows, beds, etc please click here for the additional objects policy.
IS THERE A TEAM FEE?
