Hi Melissa,
Thanks for your interest in this great event.

Cheers Geoff

Sand is fine, especially the hard sand at low tide. Nothing to be scared of, and it won’t increase the risk of injury. Just follow the others, and you’ll see a natural line between the water and the soft sand. Do not run barefoot if you’re not used to it. You will end up with blistered and bloody feet. Just wear an old pair of running shoes. And hey, if you get the odd splash, don’t worry about it.

I would suggest you just run your favourite distance. Take it easy at first until you feel your natural rhythm on the sand.

I have never ran on sand . Do you suggest I try a shorter distance ? (I usually run half marathon )Does one run barefoot or in run shoes ? Injuries ? It looks like a great event Just a little scared of the sand element .

Hi Rob,
I 2nd what Craig has informed you. High tide is around 5am so all competitors will be running out on an outgoing tide & should be returning on a near low tide, good firm sand for fast times.
The vehicles are no bother as there is plenty of notification of the event on & along the beach, as well the Rangers & Police patrol the area.
Hope to see you at the event, should be a good one.
Cheers, Geoff.

Hi Rob,

All the start times are on the entry form. The HM starts at 7:15am.

It’s your choice which sand you run on but the hard sand near the water’s edge is recommended.

There are no closures on the beach, but 4WD traffic is not a problem. Hope to see you there.

Craig

Hi – what time does the half marathon start on 3rd October and is it on soft or hard sand. Also is the beach partly closed for the event or do runners dodge the 4wds?

Hi Geoff,

I have just excitedly printed out the entry form to your Bribie Beach Bash Fun Run. I have always wanted to participate in one and have set a goal for the 6km race. With the help and support of my 15yr old son Dylan, who will also be entering with me and is quite a fit young man, I hope to do it comfortably.

Looking forward to it, Debie…
