Over the past seven years, the Flying Brick Bellarine Sunset Run has found the perfect way to combine some of life’s loves. Many families and friends have ventured to the Bellarine Peninsula to spend a weekend running, eating, drinking, smiling, and laughing with friends and loved ones.

The 2023 distances include the Active Feet Ocean Grove Half Marathon, which is an out-and-back course starting from the Portarlington pier with the main group at 5:20pm. Walkers are welcome to join and there’s an early start option for shufflers.

The Port Phillip Ferries 10km (10.5km) leaves St Leonards pier at 5:20pm, where runners and shufflers will head to the Portarlington finish line. A bus included in the entry fee.

Family owned and a huge contributor to Bellarine Community Health Youth Services, the last option is the Bully Buster 4km at Portarlington. Over the years this run has raised funds exceeding $30,000 in total for the Headspace programmes with the team aiming to raise another $5000 in 2023 for Bellarine Community Health Youth Services. Start time 5:10pm.
