Car Parking at Kalorama memorial reserve – $10 per car per day

Car parking at the Event Village will again be managed by the First Ferny Creek Scout Troop for $10 per car, per day.
NOTE: Cash preferred (it’s faster), though EFTPOS is available.

All car parking funds raised are retained by this awesome local community group.

All car parking is at owner’s risk.

cAR Parking at SkyHigh Dandenong for the 23k Runners

Address: 26 Observatory Rd, Mount Dandenong VIC 3767

Car park opens at 6:30 am for a first shuttle departure around 6:45 am

We have secured 200 parking spaces at SkyHigh for 23k runners only. We will be rotating 2 x 50 seat coaches between SkyHigh and the Event Village. The drive between the two locations is 6 minutes. There will be a shuttle leaving every 15 minutes or so from SkyHigh from 6:45 am to 8:15 am. For the return journey, there will be a rolling shuttle taking finishers back to their cars at SkyHigh between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm.

Parking will cost $10 per car to be paid at the gate to the SkyHigh staff member. This is the same price as the car park at Kalorama Reserve. The car park at Kalorama will fill up by around 8:00 am with all the 46k runners who drive to the race as well as the early 23k runners.

If you want peace of mind, don’t even come to Kalorama Oval to park, but rather head straight to SkyHigh, park and catch the Shuttle bus down to the event village. 

Note: 46k runners are not encouraged to park at SkyHigh since we cannot shuttle them back to their cars unless they finish reliably before 2 pm.

The reason for this late edition of overflow parking is the sharp increase in entries we have seen over the last few weeks and months. Last year the car park filled up perfectly with our 800 runners. This year it will reliably overflow with our 1200 runners. So even with this new overflow parking for the 23k runners, please still carpool! 

Car Pooling – IMPORTANT

Parking is EXTREMELY limited near the Event Village and, well, everywhere on the mountain. So, we urge you to find a buddy (or four) and car pool to and from the event.

It’s cheaper in petrol, better for the environment and you can share the pre-race nerves and the post-race runners high with someone else.
