Spartan Race 2026

Saturday 8th August 2026

Spartan is becoming one of the biggest group participation & fundraising events on the Southern Cross Kids Camps calendar. 

In 2026, Melbourne is the City and Werribee Racecourse is the location for the event on Saturday August 8th.

A Spartan event is an obstacle course race (OCR) designed to test endurance, strength, and mental grit through a challenging, multi obstacle course. 

Melbourne Races are either the 5k- 20 obstacle Sprint or the 10k -25 obstacle Super. These events feature signature obstacles like barbed wire crawls, spear throws, various climbs and heavy carries.

We invite you to join the fun of the day by signing up, training well and raising funds to see more kid’s lives transformed as they experience the best week of their year on camp.

Once again I am going to attempt to get round the course without breaking anything…and most importantly help some kids get to camp for the best week of their year.

Another year, another epic challenge! I’m fundraising for SCKC while taking on 3 Spartan races across Sydney, Melbourne and Lakes Entrance. Excited to race alongside great mates and raise money for kids doing it tough across Victoria!
