Sub 20min
5k heats
For the fastest on the day. Two back-to-back 5k races for runners who can hit a sub-20 minutes, each stacked with serious competition.
Run hard, hold your place, and you might just earn yourself a spot in the final race of the day.
No pacers - all out guns blazing.

4x1k relay
Between the Sub-20 heats and the 3k Final, the track shifts to team mode. Four runners, one kilometre each. A chance to race with friends or training partners and bring even more energy to the loop.

The 3k
Super Final
The showpiece event. The top finishers from both Sub-20 heats go head-to-head over three blistering laps of the loop. It’s short, sharp, and all-out, a test of pure speed under pressure.
With the crowd tight around the course and a cash prize on the line, this is where Formula Run reaches full throttle. Gun time only!
