Team REGISTRATION's

How do I register or join a team?

To register or join your team first select the distance, fill in your details, answer a few questions and near the end of the page (before selecting postage and purchasing your raffle tickets) select join or register a team. Select the type of team and either join a team if the team exists or create a new team. Adding a code when setting up a team is optional and if left blank there will be no code to join the team. More information on the types of teams here.

Share the team name (and code if required) with your family, friends, gym, office etc and challenge everyone to join!

I’ve already entered, can I still join a team
If you have already registered and wish to join a team, go to the register now dashboard with your personal login (follow the link in the confirmation email, or sign into Race Roster and select “join a team”.

Managing a Team
Once you’ve created your Team, you can go back at any time to add more members to your Team, contact Team members, organise the delivery of Race Bibs, etc. As Team Manager, you manage your Team using your personal login.

Adding Members to your Team
As a team leader, you can add members to your team yourself, but you will need their complete registration profile (i.e. contact details, date of birth, emergency contact info., choice of course option -10km, 5km or 2km) and you’ll need to pay for their registration…. OR you can invite friends and family to join your team themselves.  In that case, send them your team link or just let them know your team name so they can search for it when they register, enabling them to join your team.

Each team member can individually choose whichever course distance they wish to run – 10km, 5km or 2km.


Race bib

When and where do I pick up my race number and timing chip?

  • Postage Option: If you opted to have your race number and electronic timing chip sent to your address as part of the registration process, this will be mailed out to you approx. 10 days before the event.
  • Bib collection options:

    1. A day or two before the event bid collection will take place in a location in Manly. This will be determined closer to the day. Please keep your eyes on our socials and emails sent.
    2. Saturday 13 April: The Steyne Hotel, from 6:00am to the start of your event.

I lost my bib/didn't receive it in the post!
If you don't your bib, please collect from the bib collection the day before the event (see above).

Wearing your bib

Your bib will contain your timing chip. Please ensure you have this pinned to the front of your shirt prior to starting. Please write your emergency contact details on the rear of your bib, as well as details of any medical conditions race organisers should be aware of in the event of an accident or injury. 


Getting there & bag drop-off

What is the best way to get there?
We would encourage anyone who is able to walk, cycle or catch public transport to do so as there will be no special parking areas for this event.  Whilst there are several Council Parking sites in Manly they fill quickly.

Where can I leave my things when I run?
If you would like your baggage looked after, you can leave it at the baggage collection point inside The Steyne Hotel from 6:00am on Sunday 7th May. Bags must be collected by 9:30am. Look for the signs directing you to the collection point (next to the registration).


General

Will I get lost?
There will be plenty of volunteers and police around the routes and lots of bright blue and yellow signs and arrows to keep you on the straight and narrow.

Will I get thirsty?
For the 10km there are 2 water stations along the route (with an additional bathroom halfway).  For the 5km there will be 1 water station on the route. For the 2km route there are few public water bubblers and toilets along the route. The is a further water station at the start and finish for all races.

I am not feeling well?
If you are not feeling well in the days leading up to the event or on the morning of the event please do not attend and put others at risk. Reach out and we can look at carrying your registration over to next year.

What medical help will be available?

We will have first aiders in attendance at the event, they will be located near the start and finish area, as well as at a point along the route.

I’ve lost my child, what should I do?
Please go to the start/finish area and find a Manly Fun Run & Walk volunteer (bright yellow shirt) and follow their instructions. If you come across a lost child, please notify a Manly Fun Run & Walk volunteer ASAP.

Will there be any prizes?
There will be no ‘winners’ prizes as this is a charity fun run and not a race. Everyone nevertheless will have a chance to achieve their personal best, with their times being posted on our website after the event. All participants can provide a donation to receive a fantastic Manly Fun Run & Walk medallion that can be proudly displayed on their own or on their (grand) father's mantelpiece!

Is there anything else to do apart from participating in the walk/run?
If you or any members of your party would rather not run or walk there will be plenty of other things to enjoy before, during and after the event. Listen to some great music and support participants partaking in the event. Grab a coffee while soaking up some of the best beach scenes Sydney has to offer. The Manly Scenic Fun Run & Walk will give you a great morning out!

Will there be people taking pictures and where can I see photos taken during the event?
Yes! We will have some professional and several volunteer photographers wandering around the event. These images will be sold to raise funds for the Northern Beaches Community. Purchase a bundle of 3 photos when signing up and receive a 50% discount. Information on how to access the photos will be sent to all participants a few days after the event. We encourage you to upload your photos to social media using the hashtag #manlyfunrun

Can I run with my dog?
Unfortunately not for the 10km nor 5km as the route heads through a National Park and dogs/other domestic animals are not permitted by National Parks.

What happens to the money raised at the event?
​The Manly Fun Run & Walk is the Rotary Club of Manly’s main annual fundraising event.

We identify specific projects, raise funds for them through the event, and complete the work we have committed to, over the following twelve months.
